clear blue ocean eyes
and I am congested for a week
dreams mislead the masses
and destroy strength with a weakness of sorts
I stare my madness into space
and intake oxygen
with deflated lungs that still breathe
despite the patchwork holes left
my soul string is still attached to you
and God keeps me alive in the mean time
while rain drops flood my water glass
I still want the best for you
still want the cancer to disappear
so peace can rest in your hearts
and love can spread in between your shoulders
secret whispers to Papa himself
to bring her good health
so maybe the pain will leave
and all that will be left is me
to stand on my own stilts in the wind
and see the strength in dark brown eyes
that are filled with damage at best
life would be easier
if hearts were made of bullet proof glass
maybe we could not sink our teeth in
for a midnight snack
I am in awe of myself
for loving someone to the point of self
to be strong enough to endure
what ever has come
what is there in the future
and inhaling with every step
God may have other plans
and this purpose will show answers
in dreams come to pass
and dreams that used to exist
disappear with my stilts in the wind
Author notes
True love never dissipates, or disappears. " Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. " NIV 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
