Healing Words

When you left,

Words began to pour from my soul,

Like a water hose on a hot day.

Ever seeking to quench the thirsty agony of your loss.

Soaking into the cracks and invading the dark places.

They flow from my heart and mind

As if a dam had been broken by your absence, attempting to fill the void left in your eternal departure.

The poetry that now cascades out of me,

Giving peace and meaning to my restless mind,

healing my heart, and settling the sorrow.

That which makes ME whole again,

I would shatter in an instant, just to have YOU here once again.

If my words revoked, could give breath and laughter once more, I would gladly return every syllable.

My inability to wrench you back from heaven, leaves me only with undeniably poetic appreciation.

I can't bring you back

So instead, I write.

By C.R.Williams

For Diana, my beautiful friend. Your death opened up my words, and you aren't even here to read them. I hope you're dancing in the sky. I miss you all the time.
