Barrier Smears

I never wanted any barriers,
           or dark taintings with thick smears,
                    but all have been close sharers
                              to work themselves adhered.
  
So secure was our heart clasp,
 I was sure our bond would last.
  Joyous years grew me love-secure.
   Now days are made of hours
    when I completely flounder.
     I try to find my bearings which
      seemingly collapsed or disappeared.
       I miss our ordinary moments,
        their simplicity so complete
         that I had all the elements
          sustaining all I could need.

Time still dwells with you here.
I well recognize your features,
but not your words or actions
that clip my heart like scissors
into fractions of abrasion hurts.
These days allow me nowhere to turn.
I search out cures for your dour form
dragging love down course to burn.
How I long to remedy love concerns
but layers of my ache merely squirm
as I view our love thrashing infirm.

Chris Green October 12, 2018 at 11:47 AM I could feel the emotions raging in this poem as if they were my own. I have known this feeling before and it is not a good one, but your poem is. This was beautifully written and it is obvious that great thought and time went into this amazing piece.
