3 Months; 6 Years

3 Months; 6 Years

A Poem by Jessica J

He carries the weight
hard in his heart
Held sharply with rocks and
with twine.
Should ever a place
More quickly delay
A growth or a hope
He's inside.

Each morning he wakes 
with shards in his throat
He swallows but ne'er do
they clear.
The pain and the doubt
still reside in his chest
It grips him most tightly
in fear.

Her eyes slam quick open
she wakes in a rush.
Sweat covers her body 
and chills.
Shes certain he's there
feels his eyes over her
Caressing her soft ripe 
appeal.

Her fingers stand still
she reaches for him
As tears wet her cheeks;
slide and fall.
It's only an image
no real beating heart
To hear and to hold in 
the call.

They each ache so deep
the Angels can feel it
They call out to God 
in their name.
But only the time will
prepare them for love
They ne'er thought they could
lay claim.
