Right Now

Right now I respect your needs I respect your wishes Even though they stab Like shards of shattered glass Shrapnel puncturing my heart Uneven in my thoughts Unable to think due to a lack A lack of function in which My mundane self became accustomed Expecting your love Which right now I realize was Disrespecting your love Your love Which is my life Regardless of decisions made Your love Which is my life Because of decisions made Right now You will be my wife until my dying day I will fight for my life Your love I will go round after round Take beating and punishment Just for my life Which, right now and always has been your love Right now I really need you to know Your love Is my life The only life I really care to know And right now I feel my life, your love, Is dying slow

Shane, sad emotions to lay on paper. at one time I could relate to the depth of settling in a relationship with no standing grounds. like the ending of your poem, I allowed the dying love to stick around longer than it should have. perhaps I was his life, and he could not be without. thanks for sharing a poem straight from the heart. ...luv...Linda
