My song, as written by others

Yesterday I recalled this poem I composed on October 2010 and was then presented before only a chosen few.

My song, as written by others

He came back to tell me he's gone,

As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed,

As if I hadn't noticed,

He stopped holding back when I held his hand.

I say losing love

Is like a window in your heart,

Everybody sees you're blown apart,

Everybody feels the wind blows.

"There is no shame in healing"

Con says to Rae

And now I say to me.

I thought I was the only one

Having my arms wrapped around me 

Like they were trying to keep me from falling apart

But turns out Bella does the same.

As I curl and rock myself,  

As I cradle, comfort, calm,

As I ease myself past this point and then the next    

I find myself wishing  

I was held like a baby

That will not fall asleep

And have someone to curl me up inside him

And let me hear him through the heat.
