The Ache is Real (Eternity and the Breathless Seconds Between)
by T.J. CarverI read your words again
today
and found that underneath it all
the dust
the wound still aches,
forms
that familiar void that came
knowing only the pain
from your touch
of having you
halving you.
Events play back inside
all too often
and I try to fix it again,
what had become broken
but it slowly slips away
falls to my feet as dust.
But the images fade
dust coating your words
and, though the wound may ache,
when I clear it all away
my heart still burns for you
the ache is not what I supposed:
Every moment we're apart
eternity and the breathless seconds between
makes me love you even more;
makes me cherish you
makes me cherish you. 01/30/2009 Posted on 01/30/2009
