Words Unspoken
I have eventually come to see clearly
and admit to myself how much it has been hurting
that you did not want to see me before you left
Your angle...
"You wanted me to remember you the way you had been"
My angle...
"There was no way to remember you
other than the way you were ingrained in my heart"
Your moment, your right
and the choice belonged to you
leaving me with ‘no choice’
of sad memory and loss
Then again ...
would i have wanted to see death in your eyes?
I understand and respect
I am after all so much like you
...especially in this regard
Inevitably part of me is left without closure
and part of me grateful
to have avoided additional pain
and having gained the wisdom
not to do so to the ones i love...
I now have to integrate all parts into one
with understanding, acceptance and forgiveness
I know what it is to be there ...
yet perhaps not...
and the waves carry to the shore
strange forgotten fragments of life past)
