More than I can Bare

by Maple Tree   Oct 14, 2012


She
takes notations,
scribbling on parchment
"hallucinations are grand,
when it is you I see, My Love"
as I sit alone in the corner
I'm forced to watch death
take them all away from me,
I've become cursed
to consume the knowledge
that many refuse to talk about,
and yet,
she looks so peaceful, alone with him,
that I can't help but be happy for her,
because I know how much she yearns
to be in his arms, and yet my heart
will die along with hers when she passes.

I can't bare to endure this burden,
the only one that listens is my pen,
together our strength becomes a mighty
embrace,

and I really needed a hug this morning....

    Oh maple, I believe this to be one of your deepest saddest poems :(

    You write about such a helpless situation in which you feel trapped and like you have no control over it but so badly want to change it and make it better. I wish I could do that for you.

    I t is also heart breaking to read your ending line, that all you wanted was a cuddle and yet you felt no comfort other than to turn to your pen to write this poem.

    Your emotions here are penned very powerfully and drew me in to where I could both relate to them and make me want to comfort you :(

    All I can do is tell you that you can keep on writing and I will keep on reading, sending hugs.
