Letter From Abélard To Héloïse Poem by Gert Strydom

The separation were very painful
but still you are part of me
although it feels as if everything is coming to an end

but you remain inoculated into me, while my thoughts run wild,
life wanted to get me down,
but still you are part of me

while your loss and pain exhausts my body,
your voice have faded in my thoughts,
life wanted to get me down,

but vulnerable I dared to write love letters to you,
I wanted to press you against my chest,
your voice have faded in my thoughts,

but I have brought you back sharp from memories,
I could even smell your scent, feel your nearness,
wanted to press you against my chest,

I did mean my love in every letter to you.
The separation were very painful
I could even smell your scent, feel your nearness,
although it feels as if everything is coming to an end.
