Ramblings

Reach out to that special someone

Who has rejected your love and caring

       Do it often, do it everyday

       Do it till they hate your words, sight, and name

Everything must go,

of you

From their hearts, 

      for they have confused loving

      And found you not worth their time

If they are harsh,

admit it as a gift

If they spew Hemlock,

drink it as Socrates did

And when they finally are free

Of your thoughts and habits

Step back and set them adrift

If such is love, or if you agree this to be so

You would see the merit as a test of your mettle

If they leave, they never were here

And as they soar to heights

Just watch them heal.

For I have known so, as my life has passed

I have seen pain, misgivings, wants

All they ever led me to was love

Born from it, to die with it

And in between, live in it

Cry in it.

Heal, help heal, help pass

The heart I have has bled out at last.
