Christine A Kysely Poet Free verse

In the End

In the end 
I know 
that I loved deeply...
and in the end 
I was forced to let go
and someday 
I will know why...
Maybe not today...
but someday 
I will know why
All is pain and circumstance
love and words of war
How many days 
can I go on bleeding?
How many days 
can I force myself 
to simply go on breathing?
Some days this pain 
seems almost 
to much 
to bear
