Now And Forever

NOW AND FOREVER
copyright 2010 Owen Joseph Tierney Jr./shannan suzzette taylor
there are things I cannot know
the days and nights
you struggled in silence
crying in your dreams
trying to make sense of life
all its tragedies
you always believed
there was something
you could have done
to make it good and right
safe
solid
for all of us
you tried to build
a life
that would hold
our love
I wanted to hold you
so many nights
that I couldn’t
touch you
I wanted to talk
without crying
I wanted to love you
completely
without dying
to myself
but I didn’t know how
I didn’t know me
I have struggled
in my own way
traveling so far
away
from you
to find the missing pieces
of my soul
you didn’t take
anything
you just didn’t want
to see
what was really happening
to me
I was so lost
in a deep forest
I couldn’t believe
you really loved me
still
you held on
as you do today
my heart sees you now
with complete trust
wishing no escape
where I belong
as I know myself
in your arms
because we have struggled
together
with this love
I found strength
in the mirror of your heart
I never knew I had
in mine
I grew
slowly
deeply
in this love
sculpted
by your eyes
into the woman
I am now
all because you loved me
all because I wanted
to love you
honestly
now and forever
in truth
I do belong only to you
no more tears
in the night
we are home
together
forever true in love and light
I do love you
with all of me
