Wrapped in Unconditional Love

This was the most painful poem I've ever written. Between each phrase I paced the floor and sobbed - not wept; sobbed. It seemed to take forever to express the ache.

It took four months for me to sit and write after that. I just didn't have the courage to put myself through it again.

Wrapped in Unconditional Love

 

Love

Overwhelming

All consuming

Beyond anything ever known before

Every thought

Every passion

Every breath

Focused on one

One

Beautiful

All encompassing

Beyond anyone ever known before

Every word

Every motion

Every breath

The focus of my existence

Unattainable

I cry out with love

But you are gone

I seek you

I search for you

But you are not there

You stand before me

But you are far away

You long for another

Shutting me out

My heart reaches forth

Grasping the air

Wanting nothing but you

You smile and turn away

Looking for the love

Of one who has shut YOU out

Does your heart cry for him?

Like mine does for you?

Do you know the pain?

Wrapped in unconditional love?

To hold you again

To proclaim my love for you

As I fall into those eyes once more

Time

Moving

All knowing

Beyond the ability to control

Every desire

Every prayer

Every moment

Waiting just for you
