Betrayed

Confronting Mortality

Betrayed...Have you?

Have you betrayed me again?

We are one, have always been

Always will be to the end.

We share mind and body.

We share life and

When death comes

We will share that too!

Now it appears you have decided

To go on your own once more.

Dividing over and over into an ugly mess.

Don't you know it can kill us both?

I feel lost and abandoned...

By you, my own body.

I am hurt and angry,

Desolate in my aloneness.

Unable to share feelings so raw

Anyone would turn away, unable to cope

With the darkness of a moonless night.

Smile on the face pretends...

while..

Waiting for the results brings it all back.

Thought I was way past the fear

Only to find it tucked away, not conquered

Just hidden in the darkness of a frightened mind.

Praying for benign...

Preparing for malignant....

Now we will wait together.

Author's Note

A recent benign growth triggered many old fears from long ago. Writing is a blessing to work our way through these times. All is well!!

We human beings can fight off all kinds of outward enemies and even inner demons, but we can't fight age and illness. We can all live like health fanatics every day, and yet the general standard of three-score and ten is still around. It really is kind of unfair . . .

miss you Lady. I hope you are alright. xx

This is VERY enticing and powerful. It was very emotional and I felt like I was experiencing the same thing as you.

I think I know how you feel. And yes, writing about such things is quite theraputic.

good to know all is well. but yes we do feel betrayed at times when past things keep coming back to bother us! nicely penned.
