moved me, touching, as they oft were, bringing one to weep,
feel what you felt. There was permanency
within your words.
As if they had become immortalized, well-defined, following
a stringent set of rules.
Preventing them from morphing into someone else, something
else. Realizing if they had they would become
meaningless.
Your arrival, premature and unannounced, has left me clambering
for an opening, leaving me in an awkward
position, a situation
I would rather not attend realizing the implications which may
or may not arise. There are an assortment of scattered thoughts and memoirs I
have kept which I feel is memorable, although however
mediocre, they were, comparatively
speaking, even
though others felt otherwise. They console me your utterances,
your words of encouragement…
I would have continued to fall into the cold, bleak unfathomable
abyss, were it not for you, the replenishment of my tormented
soul.
Far too long have I been lost, every star seemed to have fallen
from the sky, leaving nothing left to guide me as I clung to
a remembrance of your undying
love.
I found it difficult to perceive, living within an illusion, clinging
onto a singular thread of reality whilst hanging quite
precariously onto the outer fringes
of my madness.
And praying for a recollection of what I perceived to be sanity…
….A perplexity I could not attempt to comprehend without
a margin of self-doubt.
