You let her go

But you know deep down

That you denied her

Of your feelings and all your

Thoughts that went beyond her

Dare they trouble or scare

Or weigh down upon her

But you know deep down

That you denied her

Of your inner thoughts that

Might have bonded you together

 

Second thoughts

About the distance

You placed between her

Perhaps she might have sewn

It back together with a needle

Sharp, with a sting, but still forgiving

It could have mended and brought

Together all the distance that you

Tried so hard to drive between you

 

Reminisce now

About the good and bad of your darling

How she stood by your side up to the end

And she cared for you with such passion

That no other had ever given you

How it softened your heart

And loosened your soul

As she fluttered around

How you wanted to catch her

But still, how she reached for the pills

When the pain came and brought chills

You couldn’t return such loving admiration

It was too much to take

Your humming bird was hurting

 

Feel the guilt

As she packed her bags that night

You watched as she turned out her room light

And she rolled out one light suit case

For she had very few things

She gathered her pain relievers

And with sad eyes- she didn’t say goodbye

A week later in the mail

Came a letter from her sister

The girl was now in the hospital

Medications, therapy, psychology

Without her greatest reliever

She was crumbling away

And in the letter, it begged you so-

Dear brother, friend, and runner

Please she will die, she needs her antidote

 

Resolution

You thought you’d ended it all

But as fate would have it so

You returned to her bedside and she smiled wide

And the tears, hers did flow

And she said, my love, I’m dying

But please bear with it, I need you so

And you thought hard

On the pain that it would cause you

And you thought hard

On the life you’d have to leave

You’d lost her once already

Could you bear it once again?

But the answer was clear enough

Fate was unforgiving and rough and

Love was stronger than iron chains as he slept there everyday

 

God’s grace

A miracle happened

One morning when you awoke

Her eyes were shining

And she explained:

“An angel came to me

And said that for your safety

I must carry on, and learn to be strong

And stay with you, for you need me to

And I must show my thanks

And be sure to pray

For since you have given up so much

And held your fortress and weathered my storm

God has given me a life to help protect yours”

 

You cried heavy tears

And you fell down in her sheets

You buried your face in the fine linen folds

Your hands they clenched into fists

And you found you were falling into hysterics

For your girl was alive again

And suffering no more

And holding you so firm that it made you weak

And you sunk further to your knees

And she stepped off the bed

And surrounded you like you once had

Enveloped her
