In Pain

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?
