Connie Hues Poem
One day I will wake
and understand why
you left yourself behind
when you moved away
I find evidence
that you have
been in every room
It has been 11 months
since you ran away
from yourself
Today
your book is still turned over
forever resting
on the first page
of the tenth chapter
I wonder if you have
missed yourself yet
You left so many
of your things here
Like markers
staking a claim for you
in case you need evidence
to convince me
that almost a year
hasn't passed
In case you decide
to suddenly show up
and pretend you never left
In case I will play along
when you pick up
your book
and continue reading
where you left off
You are not really here...
So
why
haven't
you
gone
yet?

Connie Hues Poem
I have waited for you forever, it seems
But I always knew you would come.
I have seen your face in a million sweet dreams
My husband, my Lover, my Chum.
I have chosen to walk your path with you;
To always stay right by your side.
I promised God that, when I said, "I do"
As your loving and loyal Bride.
I am not afraid to tackle this life
As long as we walk here, as one.
I am so very proud to be your Wife
My husband, my Lover, my Chum.

Connie Hues Poem
The precipice waits
for our ascension.
It has a cruel face;
rocky and hard,
sharp and daunting.
I cannot remember
why you decided to
start the climb.
There are plenty of obstacles
That will present themselves
Often.
I will reluctantly follow
Because I can’t imagine
watching you go alone.
I forgot to dress in
protective gear,
therefore,
I am vulnerable
to the elements
and the expectations
you must have of me.
~
I am frightened.
~
When I falter,
your hand will
reach out quickly
to support me,
save me,
I know that.
so
I am not afraid of you,
exactly.
However, I am terrified of
how you might change
during our long
journey to the top.
I do not know what
you plan to do
once we are there;
(wherever ‘there’ is)
But
it doesn’t matter.
I just want to be with you,
because even the possibility
Of falling away with you
Is better than being left behind.
