Today I saw
What I cannot have.
I'm sorry.
Yesterday I dreamt
Of tiny hands,
Aiding steps and
Teaching words.
Tomorrow I will cry,
And we will fight
Until you hold me,
And still the pain
That flows unseen.
Insufferably I seem
To act like a stone,
But your gentle heart
Won't let me suffer alone.
You say give up this bottle
Cos it won't see me through,
And if I have nothing left,
Then I'll still have you.

Indescribably articulate and so delicately fragile with hurt, that I almost felt it deserved a flood of tears in honest validation.Take the strength that you have been offered so you can regain your footing and display your own.Comment by grunty: Oct 31, 2009 4:13 am

Teaching words.
Those lines are so beautiful.
This is a lovely little poem and I hope you are doing better.

This really is a beautiful poem, and I'm glad that you aren't going through this alone.
I don't think I can quote one separate stanza, the poem as a whole is amazing.
Stay strong

Stone is not good, anything hard is brittle...it's best to bend under pressure a little. It hurts some, but it'll stop you snapping, sounds like you have someone to watch for cracks and patch them up.
(I really shouldn't mix up my metaphors...)
