There but for a moment,
the hurt enrages the heart to defense
temper flaming towards you out of anguish and love
words attack to hide the grief in total misunderstanding
I'm stuck with you for life; the facades now turn and lie.
but is the facade the lack of hatred for yourself who
deems facade a hate?
the flickering candle reminesces
the angelic valor of the truest truth denied
wings bruised in turning away in such confined space
not broken... still healable... still feathered with life, somewhere.
And after there but for a moment...
I remember it all well...I know
Why I hyperextended my own wings of love for you.
And I cry alone.

This is a repost from a few years ago, but it was on my heart and mind today, so I felt compelled to re-share with new friends. Purity

This is a nice piece now as it was then. Its cool for it to be reposted. Nothing has to be broken forever even if it seems like it.

Don't know if I'd read this before (tho the title seemed familiar)

No matter, the reading changes with the perspective in any case.

Nicely done!

I read it again, just to see if I could see something. I think I think too fast and slowing down would probably help, I guess I just have a hard time with stuff like this because I don't understand. All your work from what I've read ends with a peaceful kinda of feeling.

Thanks to all!
GIS ~ You are such a gem. This was an apology requiem. I allowed myself to finally vent to him so endeared...His facade was the lie of my being "stuck with him for life". I was attacking in defense to ask if, since he hated facades, did he hate himself? Then, the peace sets in...and I finally come to understand unrequited love. I'm learning from your poems that sometimes it's better only to imagine... Love!
