Chasm?

Chasm?

A Poem by Rachel Grace

I am so sorry

for wanting this space between us to ease this burning pain inside my chest and these thoughts that will never ever heal and

I am sorry

for trying and failing to ignore this chasm stretching between us and echoing echoing echoing down down into the dark

and god I am so sorry

for trying trying trying to fix this and heal us and wanting to just hold your little soul in my hands and scream at you that I have never stopping fighting for this

for us

and I am so sorry sorry sorry

sorry that love isn't easy and that I'm not your fairytale princess and sorry that broken things cannot and should not and will not find the answers within more broken pieces of glass

and I

I am so sick sick sick of sorries and I'll try harders and maybe next times because what if next time was now and what if the training wheels were slashed from our little bicycles mid-run and what if we jumped from the top of a cliff without being afraid and we did not fall

down down down into the darkness of ourselves again and discover in the cave that is my frozen identity that you and I are fire and ice and night and day and sun and moon

(And doesn't that sound so damn romanic)

but it's not cause even though the sun and moon live forever apart who is the moon without a sun?

And how do you expect me to be so happy happy

when I cannot be me without you and yet I find no resemblance to myself deep within you blood red soul?

Really deep deep deep each time I read a repeat it became a stronger image and brought out the full emotion of this poem. Keep it up!
