An Incomplete Love Story
Imperfection in our connection,
we yearned for a resurrection-
The direction of our affection
was lost in moments of objection.
We lacked in marital bliss,
felt the cross-roads of loss lingering
into o b l i v i o n.
Forever gaping on lonely memories,
I severed ties with the one man who
loved me so-
Seeking only redemption through
forgiveness, he never bestowed
a t o n e m e n t,
and now I am perpetually recognized
as the one who...
emptied the h o u r g l a s s.
Sandbags were stacked against the
river of our frustration,
never knowing the outcome of last
night’s h a r d s h i p.
The dam shattered into pieces of
remorseful words and now I fear the
worst has come to l i g h t.
Our INCOMPLETE LOVE STORY
prevailed-
Our sorrows became the endless
tale our children would tell to
generations of family h i c c u p s.
For I am but a woman who knew not
the sadness I would face-
a forsaken wife yearning for...
complete compassionate
a b s o l u t i o n.
