Shane Hart Poet Free verse

Right Now

Right now I respect your needs
I respect your wishes
Even though they stab
Like shards of shattered glass
Shrapnel puncturing my heart
Uneven in my thoughts
Unable to think due to a lack
A lack of function in which
My mundane self became accustomed
Expecting your love
Which right now I  realize was
Disrespecting your love
Your love
Which is my life
Regardless of decisions made
Your love
Which is my life
Because of decisions made
Right now
You will be my wife until my dying day
I will fight for my life
Your love
I will go round after round
Take beating and punishment
Just for my life
Which, right now and always has been 
your love
Right now 
I really need you to know
Your love Is my life
The only life I really care to know
And right now
I feel my life, your love,
Is dying slow

Poet Destroyer A November 30, 2013 at 5:56 PM Shane, sad emotions to lay on paper. at one time I could relate to the depth of settling in a relationship with no standing grounds. like the ending of your poem, I allowed the dying love to stick around longer than it should have. perhaps I was his life, and he could not be without. thanks for sharing a poem straight from the heart. ...luv...Linda
