Stories of Discarded AmbitionsA Poem by Janet PottsShe pl aces her h-a-n-d-s on me and e r a s e s her mind. I REach my a r m s o u t and hold her body cl ose. She WANTED to l o o s e herSELF, and I compLIED. She R-E-a-c-h-e-s TO the SKY, ing elate every hope she has. The sun no LONGer matters. All that is HER and I. She wants exists to BE some thing other than NO thing. My a r m s hOLD her form as THE moon be gins to s e. We are both HERE for mil this ONE mo-ment. She smiles like YOU n e v e r EXISTed and moves r. She GAVE every e thing h g i h to s-t-A-N-D in me one last time. YOUR words will not ent er her mind. I c e her in my r l ad ha-rsh a r m s and feel her HEART beat, heal ing with every bRUSH of my wind. She c ome s to me when she needs TO be save d. I exist for her. © 2015 Janet Potts
