Us Poem by Aaron Waingrow

I am alone when I start out on this trip
Not short around the block or down the strip
My heart guarded by walls so strong and high
I no longer can be hurt even though evils try
They pound and beat with all their might
Digging, scratching, clawing, I must do right
Clenching almost screaming body wrecked with pain
Tears streaming down dripping on the papers they stain
Spiking again and again as I am helplessly crying
You sit there on my screen reaching out not sighing
Another fake friend gone yet you are still right there
Talking to me calmly showing nothing but that you care
In disbelief I turn away and yet drawn back to you I see
Perfect Love in those beautiful blue eyes looking at me
First a crack, then cracking, then they start to shatter
The walls start to tumble and they no longer matter
Healing has begun and love takes a once empty place
I fall more and more every time I gaze upon your face
So humble, honest, a virtuous woman to me God has bless
I ask you to marry me, a few days after you say YES
Our future is unknown or what it will bring
I will gladly spend every day hearing you sing
If I could choose my death, asleep peaceful in your arms
After many years with your love and all of my charms
