Nothing remains of my yesterdays
Everything that came before
Is a forgotten pile of ash
Left behind in the firestorm
Of your arrival

Oh,
To be the sheet
In which you are entangled

You pull my mass
Toward your orbit
The force of your want
A gravitational constant

One year.
Since you dipped your toe in
And found the water quite warm
And soon
Soon
You can dive in
And I may relish
Holding you in my depths

And don't you love me like a song
And don't you sing it sweet
Even if your big heart starts get weak
I'll still be loving every beat

Unbelievable...
You are everything
You're abundance defined
Rich in the best of ways
The rarest of rare things
You really didn't know?
Allow me to show you, then

Brutal waiting game
A digital image of you
Cyber-kiss goodnight

I brought a spark
You fed the flames
An inferno
That won't burn out
Anytime soon

I will not let death
Steal my beloved away
I stand and fight fate

I die every day
While you beat so far away
Errant heart of mine

Don't you believe I live and breathe
And want and ache and yearn?
I'm not content to dream in vain
Wake up from your cursed sleep, my love
Don't condemn us to be an unfinished poem

The important things
Tend to be little things
With significant weight,
When assembled together
They become a grand castle
That inside, feels as snug
As a country cottage

If I could be your mirror
You'd really be amazed
Modern-day Narcissus
You'd gaze the days away
I'd show your heart and soul to you
You'd see the work of art
The man I see and feel in you
With all your complex parts

The decision was made for me
I tried not to fall too fast
But
My heart didn't ask
It told me

For the first time in my life
I'm certain that I'm safe
And really loved

And I'm yours
Hopelessly enamored
I'm yours

One night, about a month after we began 'talking', the BPD aspect of my cPTSD went after him. I couldn't stop myself, you know how it goes. Afterward, I thought, surely he's done with me.

But he wrote this, instead.
I. Wept.
And I knew.

I still get misty, reading it. Love him.

How to Love a Wounded Animal:

Quietly,
faithfully,
gently, above all, gently.

Be in the dark a subtle light,
but not blinding.

Be in the light a willing shade,
but not too dark.

Recognize the limits of your love
when set into the frame
of a lifetime in pain,
and be patient.
Be patient.
