Poem



He looks at her
with mutilated disgust
The gentle touch on his shoulder,
from the woman she now is,
changes the look on his face
Through no fault of her own,
cancer has taken a twin part of her away
He heaves his chest in twisted exhalations,
somehow forcing himself to believe he is
the breathing victim of her suffering
Wanting to say so many needful things ... 
yet the suffocating words he do say,
brings not to her any comforting
His innermost silence only serves to strengthen her
She is a warrior ... a survivor
who carries a shield of inscrutable eyes
as a disguise
Hiding the sadness in her soul
Watching the other half she has remaining,
drift further and further away
Retreating into a self-made autistic shell
She wants so bad to say,
don’t treat her in such a leprous way
The mirrored reflection of her nakedness
turns him away with a wounded, shameful scowl
Intimacy is not something he can stomach now
Her beautiful body has been marred,
her lovely feminine form has been scarred
The woman she was
has been surgically removed
to save the woman she is
And the woman she wants to be
accepted for,
there are not enough words to be said
Yet, she tearfully hopes
those unsaid feelings of love
he so pitifully gropes for
Will be someday found in his separated heart,
and voiced in a renewed vow from long ago
