Reconciliation: the Silence Healed

Your failure, thought by your ear Words of another, your dread spread My shoulder, never not yours Reconciliation; your voice heard. A misery, my own doing My recoil, accepting the proximity Sorrow, the feeling behind my joy The pain untold, but written in silence. As your tears I feared; your side I embraced A seat you offered, an honor remembered Conversation alive again, its fragility accommodated Your speech to me, always a pleasure. My smile true; my heart whole Another day for some; a renewed dawn for me.
