Peace is of you. Pieces of me.

You don't know pain
Until you know love
I didn't know love
Until I knew you
Now I am love
It emanates from within every piece of me
And without you,
I'm in pieces 
Miles and resistance can distance 
The physical and create a barrier
But love and trust can bring us
And our hearts back home again
And tear down the wall
That builds itself while we sleep apart
I lay with my head
Buried in the pillow
Pretending you're here with me
I can almost hear your breathe
I will hold my head up for you
And count the days until your lips will
Find mine here, 
Waiting
So patiently
Every day feels longer than the last
It's only 10am and I'm ready for sleep again
I've been up since 6 
Done damn near everything I have to do today
To keep myself from missing you
But every minute is an hour
I'm feeling a little left behind
The whole world can move on
Moving forward in time
But I'm left to all of my thoughts that you take
This is over and I'm feeling a little alone
But I never knew love before you
I never knew pain before this
I'm well acquainted with both
Now is here and I'm okay with it
So long as at the end of each day
I'm still on your mind
I'm still in your heart
And I can be love for you too
It emanates from within every piece of me
And without you,
I'm in pieces 
How are you?

  1. The fervidity of the emotions within this poem are beyond anythin that can be described. One cannot fathom such words from pure imagination alone. One to write somethin so great had to pour one's soul into it from their expansive heart. One that has been dealt an emotional blow as deeply as this conveys. Pure genuis Miss Sarah. Pure genuis... ;)
