bruised

Bruised, 
thin skinned 
Oozing 
Like this peach 
I bite into. 
Sweetness drips down my chin 
as I try to save face. 

Tears bittersweet as I say goodbye, 
never knowing why.  

Like the peach,
relationships have a shelf life.
Often misunderstood living under our skin, festering and bubbling under the surface.  

Love hurts. 
There are no quick cures but the love you once had is yours to savor.  

If you once loved,
you will love again.

The chill of the season leaves us dormant to go inside and hibernate to do our inner cleaning.
clear out the cobwebs that remain.

Healing takes time as we grapple with our inner demons giving them some space to learn and grow. 

But spring will come in time.  
And when I’m ready,
I pick the peach of my dreams at the exact right time.
and eat it in delight
as the juice drips down my chin once again.  

In summer I basque in the sun as the slithering snake
sheds its skin. 
as do I,
ready to move on.

And this is the cycle of life,
as I learn to be a little more discerning in my choices and grow thicker skin.

Dream or Reality?

I sit in anticipation of your call patiently waiting, my heart vapid with silence that tells it all.

The internal desire to push through the cracks and cut through this appendage of pain has left me befuddled and lonely.

I wake to an empty glass on the nightstand and an open window, no note of goodbye.

I see the trace of a shadow colliding with a star dimly lit merging into the horizon and the fog of my breath on the window,

tracing the words.

I love you,

I’m so sorry.

No words can explain the inexplicable feelings of your disappearance. And no length of time will take away the pain,

but through the tears of silence,

my heart remains filled with liquid pearls as my lips kiss the windowpane and I say goodbye, smashing the glass through the pain, fractured, and torn.

Light filters in from under my door as the fog lifts and I awake to your arms enveloping me, caressing the pain with the scent of your cologne in my hair in the soft covered feather down chair.
