Erosion

 

My vision has been altered,

My mind now perplexed.

The plan that seemed so set in stone, the love that seemed untouchable…

Has been touched.

 

Did I want her to leave…no

Did I push her to leave…maybe

 

My path of sanity has been eroded by love, loss, and insecurities.

Those missing footprints in the sand were not from God carrying me,

BUT

From times past that I allowed the shore to wash from my mind.

Blind sighted by valor and truth, I am left bare under the guillotine of life.

 

Did I want her to leave…no

Did I push her to leave…maybe

 

True Love grows from a place where even the most exotic of blossoms cannot bloom,

Rooted so deep, it’s origin is unknown.

Just as I inhale to the naked eye, what seems not to exist, love permits me to live, as it does.

But is that what I truly want?

A fantasy that alters reality so much that when adversity arises, this love cannot withstand the test?

 

Did I want her to leave…no

Did I need her to leave…maybe
