On An Eyelash

On An Eyelash

A Poem by Choosing Life

I wanted to love him.

Maybe I even needed to

Pick up the fractured the wing

And nurture it back to wholeness

So that we could take flight together.

I wanted to save him

Maybe I even needed to

Wipe away his fears

And give him shelter from life's harsh realities.

Each day became our lesson

And somehow my love was vexing him

Found him stressing out about not being good enough

When he should have been resting in the bosom of my love.

I built him up like I was an architect

Careful with every detail so I knew what to expect

Gentle attention applied so I could banish all neglect

But I couldn't make him believe he was worthy of such respect

And my appreciation opened wounds he had hid

Not ready to face them

His backed was turned to me

Because he hated I could see

And with regret my project was shut down.

I wanted to love him.

Maybe I even needed to

Wish on an eyelash

And have it come true
