Complete Again created by MairahMoor 12 years ago

How could I give my all, I thought,
when half of me is gone?
Half a woman, pretending to be whole
pretending to function as though complete
I lied to myself.
Your departure heralded in unexpected visitors...
The spectres of loneliness & pain.
They say that 'misery loves company',
and I had enough for a party,
All are welcome!
But how , I thought do I exorcise them
away from my sacred space,
where I know they have no true place,
to dwell like unwanted visitors,
seeking to possess.
I must confess,
at first I gave them audience,
I welcomed them in,
I fed them, gave them sustenance.
My tears became my prisoner, creating a turbulent sea,
that surrounded me.
My house of sorrow stranded like an island,
no boat to navigate away.
That was until you threw me a life buoy.
Your words became my comforter, my inspiration.
You made me see past the storms that threatened to rage,
to drown me...
Within your heart, you said,was my key, my saviour, my joy.
Surround yourself with the essence of light & love.
Wear it about you like expensive cologne.
Let it seep into your pores,
let it flow like a stream,
immerse yourself until charged with the power,
to part the waves of your despair.
I listened,
I obeyed
I parted the sea, and like a tide my sorrow lifted,
my feet touched firm upon the ground now visible,
where I again walked,
complete again.


Thses lyrics I penned notlong after the recent death of my Hubby. I used writing as a form of therapy for me to help me through my grief.

I hope that you like this song.
