Embracing you,
my vision.
Not what you once were,
so clear,
now obscured by time,
twisted and fractured
by desire.
Rage and helplessness
inspired my
hands
when my heart was gone.
When is it
far too late
for apologies?
Always.
Any time is too much.
Don’t give up,
but don’t give in to my
rational mind,
my emotional appeals.
I can’t even tell
what is real.
The day is dark
and my skin grows cold.
The Sun will come soon
and you will break through,
or, so I’m told.
Relax.
Come into the light.
Let me hold you
this one more time.
Every moment could be the end,
so before I go
I give you all I can.
Wishing it were more,
but my eyes,
they are not what they were.
Let me love you,
while I can still see you.
The only clarity
I’ve ever known.
