Within my hands
Outside my grasp
My dreams were held in trust
Precious things
Wraith like
Fragile whisps of my soul
A sudden blow
Careless whipping words
Scattered....shattered me
Such soft warm beginnings
Turned to hard shards within
So now I bleed my pain, anger and sorrow.
Some wounds heal
Make us stronger
Or cause us to shy away
See some fester
Lack of love...
denied the ailing patient
Time, words, touch...
Love, understanding, compassion
Why have they been forgotten?
Or were they merely not mine to have?
