we were once nouns, together

i thought perhaps
i'd give you one more reason
to slide over my heart
and bleed your self hatred
over me
   into me
and yet, you ignore who i was 3 months ago
glaring only at what you think i am
today
    yesterday, you stood by my side
noun to noun
heartbeat to heartache
   crushing breath
to rising anger
we were here, together
and you called me, lover

but i chose silence instead of anger
resolution in place of war
and because of that, i am
invisible

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

maybe you feel invisible but I see in this you are the bigger person which makes you visible when, and where it counts. I am definately saving this. This is all too familiar....very much so. It's as if you crawled in my skin and told my story. Luckily I am somehow now far removed from that, and I am thanking God EVERY minute of every waking hour for that! Wow, sending
many hugs.

Love,
Terri~
