Every Excuse in the Book
Every Excuse in the Book
Was it something
said or done,
a word that won
though lost a ton,
and ended worse
than anything,
a bell when rung
without its ring?
Perhaps it's missing
just a shower,
simple steps
that cause this cower,
distance seems
a basic space
to slow the mood
and halt the pace.
Who's to know
what truths are out,
felt about,
causes doubt,
every single
slant of tone
that chills the warmth straight to the bone?

Author's Note
When lovers back off because of what they're dealing with, it may seem like rejection, but the journey to acceptance is multifaceted. Allow it. Go through it. Sit in the fire. Be patience. Understand in your ignorance. Allow the cards to be played out right in the embers of the relationship.

I'm in no hurry to get to heaven, but there's no reason to put myself and others through hell in the meantime.
