Hit and Run

This is a hero’s journey
Life.
You wake
Your eyes not seeing,
Only seeing what you want
But
Cannot have
For now.
You force yourself to wait for happiness one more day.
You force yourself to be ok
Until,
Always until…

There’s an awareness,
A fullness
The promise of new beginnings all around,
But you‘re shivering in a chill of winter
Left behind.
The power of positive thinking does not numb This
Does not flood this pain
Out.
This pain demands you
Be Here Now.
This pain
Withers
Warps your body into fetal position
Slices you raw
Open
Exposed,
Love may be a hit and miss but this pain
This pain is a hit and run.
