The Vow

Freeverse

At first

She was

My Genesis

Long before

She became

My Exodus

As I slowly

Return to that

Which I came from

The dust

She was the wave

In my ocean

The sand on

My beach

She was the

Shore

That had me

Yearning for more

Just before

The farce

And after

I discovered

The true cost

I am lost

Weeping over

The loss

No sacrifice

No cross

My grief

Is beyond

Belief

As I weep

Hoping that

My Exodus

Will be brief

As I am marching

To and fro

Going through

Revelations

Cause what I am

Facing

Is nothing new

Cause I suspect

That you knew

I grew

In leaps and bounds

With you

And now that you

Are not around

I have found

That I must do

The same

Learn from this

Pain

Vowing never

To love this way again

 

Author's Note

sometimes the pain is too great and healing seems like it takes forever. Healing and hurting are all processes that are on opposite ends of the same spectrum.

[Jennesis]

You have so much new writing I can't keep up with it all. I love this piece from you Rico. The affect and sentiment feels more raw that in other pieces. Less anger, more love.
