Bond That Cannot Be Healed

My heart wants to reach out to you,
But the truth is that I do not know how
When things have already begun to
Heal. I wish that being sorry will allow
The pain to subside and be replaced
By something other than sorrow,
But I know that we have already faced
Honesty. There is a new tomorrow
No matter what today brings. I know
That we have tried, but some things
In life do not work. Darling, you show
Me that life is not always like wings
And everything good in this world
Because there are some things that
Are meant to be left alone, curled
Up. Relationships lose their matte
Finish like photographs that sit in
The darkness and light too much.
That space where you have been,
It is something I cannot clutch
Onto and I have to set it free
As something not meant to be.
