All is well that ends well

All is well that ends well

A Poem by Violet O'Brien

A heartbreak sunrise awakens me
to all the facts I couldn't see
my heart is empty
last night it was full
I never realised how heavy it was
until there was nothing left to carry
if you held me in your arms
would you take your time
to tell me that you love me
before you slip inside
or would you be to fast
in a rush and a hurry
teaching me things I never wanted to understand
because I was happy and content in the first place
but somehow I have become something else
that no longer knows how to survive on my own
is that a good thing or a bad thing
has the remedy become worse than the disease
In my dreams I long for a woman
but if I've chosen you
why does it still feel wrong
I don't understand
our child is perfect
a splendid creation of our love
and our life is all I could have hoped for
but inside my heart still aches
for that familiar taste
that old touch of girls long lost
to the fire of hades
their hearts dripping in their hands
as in their final moments they left them with me
and I've carried them all this time
holding their hearts in my chest
making room for them withing my own
so that they will always be remembered
so they will never be forgotten
but now there is you
standing by my side
sometimes you release me
and sometimes I am imprisoned by you
so where are the lines drawn
and how will my heart choose
I know that only time will tell
but what if all that ends
will not end well?
