Yesterday

Yesterday

I let you go

Released you 

Into your own flow

But when I did

You pulled me back

For fear?

I know you love

Me

My dear


What cost to us 

Have cake

Then eat it, too?

Are we inevitables

Delaying what must come to pass?

Or are we clinging to each a safety raft?

Mere threads of hope

But one day soon

We must decide for one

Instead of being 

Decided upon

Oh Moon

Oh Moon Oh Moon I wish that I Could offer up to you Comfort    in your agony What I wouldn’t do for you Powerless am I  And may only off up My prayers and incantations That will never be enough Your weary shores Hold back your tears Oh strength and fortitude Hand to me your soul’s despair I will cry them all For you.

This

This Striking my heart strings  In such a way Brings much hope For joy to stay Casting eyes  Cloaked in jest But you know I want You the best I love you, I love you! I long to say Bridled and silent I can not play Ripped and torn  Inside my chest Tear off pretence And me undress Say you love me Say you do All I’ve ever wanted Was you.   DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
