It was laying right before me in all it's nakedness and I stumbled rather helplessly over thickened calluses. Blind to indescretions and the things that passed me by, my body lost it's footing and my soul began to cry. Split seconds found me falling to what seemed a final demise, so I braced myself completely, but I never closed my eyes. Hitting hard against the wall of what would finally be, I steadied in the numb peril, collecting pieces of broken me. The hurting never stops,you see, what you did will always stay in the forefront of my memory, not just on days it rains. The limp is barely visible to the stranger's view, but in my conscious every step I'm reminded of... you. From this I will recover, I will rehabilitate, and a stronger, viable me will be sure to emanate. You're like a broken bone, my dear, that will be whole again, and will remind me quietly of what once had been. Time is all it takes to ease the pain within, no different than the couplehood of arthritis and motrin. |
