We Are One

You have returned

I knew our love was too strong

and this premature parting

could never be,

no it could never be.

In that place

when I looked at you

serene

calm

resting

make up covering

those terrible wounds

I knew then

I could not be apart from you

that if you had truly died

I must die also.

I wept

bitter salt,

could not stop weeping

tears like rivers of grief

flowing

unceasing

into an ocean of pain.

They gave me sedatives

told me time would heal

time

endless time

would bring a kind of peace

closure.

But that could never be

it was you and me

against the world

I was never strong enough

to be alone.

But now you have come back

returned,

tapped upon our door

wanting to enter our home

where we were happy

always content

strong

together.

You sit in your chair

like nothing has changed

your clouded eyes

unblinking

fixed upon me

and now you stand,

still in the shroud

they wrapped you in

and you walk towards me

your cold hands

stroke my fevered skin

your blue chilled lips

close upon my mouth

you have come to me

we are one

forever.
