Blessing In The Pain Poem by Shannon Wade

The tears settle into her cheeks
Her heart tears as she realizes that the high has now fades
Along with passion filled nights followed by sweet daydreams
The craving that once got her through the day has revealed it's poison
The same lips that captivated
The same lips that told her she was pretty
Told her they couldn't stay
The same eyes that gaze upon her with admiration
Looked away
He shut a door to the chemistry
He ran from the idea of forever
He held onto his past instead and ignore the possibility of a beautiful future
He chose simple over effort
Claiming simple still drives his heart
But she could feel his heart each him he embraced her
Each time he dwelled near her being
The intuitive mind that intrigued him
Caused him to slip away
Was it love?
The question lingers
She was ready to fall
She felt after all these years she'd give it a try
But that ended in as a fatal escapade
In the midst of her pain... she found clarity
Love isn't about the lust filled thoughts thst cause you to linger in sensual moisture and bliss
It's not conditional or fickle
It's consistent and unchanged
So I know he never loved me
Liked me deeply? Sure
I've decided, that I'll stop bringing your name up when reflecting on things remember
Doing so just kills me all over again
I lost a lover and a friend
One can only wonder...was it worth it for you
