When I return

May hope outline the worry in your eyes,
While hospitals are my home.
May you lie next to my night gown at night,
and forget the straight jacket I now wear.

Please remember me as your love that's temporarily sick,
instead of the phyco I've been labeled as.

May my love for you withstand the many treatment's,
and carry me back to your faithful arms.
May my mind be clear and my heart steady,
as nurses swarm and doctors diagnose.

May truth prevail and freedom take me,
releasing the longing kept within.
May fate step in and release me from here,
May our love prove to the world how real we are.

    Hi there

    I really liked this poem. I felt it was very touching and emotional, and had a sense of beauty to it.

    You expressed your profound ideas simply, and I laud you for this. I cannot count how many time I have ead some poems that make me want to wring my head out in frustration at the hopes of somehow understanding their true and deaper meaning!!!

    I really love this part:

    May truth prevail and freedom take me,
    releasing the longing kept within.
    May fate step in and release me from here,
    May our love prove to the world how real we are.

    How wonderfully written. Best of luck to you with this entry.
