An Incomplete Love Story

Imperfection in our connection,
                            we yearned for a resurrection-
         The direction of our affection
                            was lost in moments of objection.

We lacked in marital bliss,
felt the cross-roads of loss lingering
into  o b l i v i o n. 
Forever gaping on lonely memories,
I severed ties with the one man who
loved me so-
Seeking only redemption through
forgiveness, he never bestowed 
a t o n e m e n t,
and now I am perpetually recognized
as the one who...
            emptied the  h o u r g l a s s. 

Sandbags were stacked against the
river of our frustration,
never knowing the outcome of last
night’s  h a r d s h i p.
The dam shattered into pieces of
remorseful words and now I fear the 
worst has come to  l i g h t. 

Our INCOMPLETE LOVE STORY 
prevailed-
Our sorrows became the endless
tale our children would tell to 
generations of family  h i c c u p s.

For I am but a woman who knew not 
the sadness I would face-
a forsaken wife yearning for...
                  complete compassionate 
                              a b s o l u t i o n.
