Missing Pieces

HangingbyaHalo

Emotion is usually hard for me,

I sometimes deprive myself of the vulnerability to truly feel things,

Not because I don’t want to but because life has taught me that it is safer that way,

I reduce connections to shelter myself from the pain of those connections being severed.

 

So when the thought of you leaving sent tears down my cheeks...

 

I was taken aback,

I can’t shield myself from you,

To be honest I do not want to,

It’s been quite a long time since someone or something has invaded my heart the way you have

 

And with every day 

 

every kiss 

 

every touch

 

you grow more and more a part of me.

 

My Thoughts race..

 

I wonder what has become of the cold and detached part of me that I used to present to the world.

 

The part stricken with grief and pain

 

Afraid to just be

 

I have come to the conclusion that she is healing.

 

And Your touch is like surgery.

 

Stitching all the broken pieces of me back together.

You seem to be blind to the pieces that are missing.

 

Or maybe you don’t see a need for them.

 

I’m not sure yet.

 

What I do know 

 

 all the pieces of me fit so perfectly with the pieces of you.

 

Like a puzzle,

 

Leaving me to wonder if the pieces were ever truly missing 

 

Or if the voids were just waiting for you.

    I've been away from this site for a while. Other things have taken priority, (not my choosing)

    Anyway, thank you for continuing to share your writing. I enjoy reading you. You make me feel and think and I believe you write from the heart, which takes courage. Best wishes to you.

    Kindest Regards,

      I am glad to hear that you have returned hopefully you are well in body and heart. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. It really means the world to me. Writing is my outlet so it is very much a bleeding piece of by heart and it is such a scary feeling to hand that to the world.
      I appreciate your kindness and acknowledgment.

      With love,
