OUR STORY.
PARTY ONE
I do clearly remember, though, I’ve tried to forget.
How you told me, “ You fell in love with me the first time we met “.
Back then you were married, me engaged.
Later, passing each other by, both shackles and caged.
You, captured by the sister, me, tied down to the brother.
It was forbidden for us to ever love one another.
I dwelled within my lonely room.
Night after lonely night, hoping it would all end soon.
You toiled and labored,in an effort to please. She saw you as nothing and, hurt you with ease.
For this brother and sister, we were never good enough.on us, they lashed out, snarling and cursing.
Still we stood by them, through good times,and the rough.
After ten years past, you reached out at last. With just a simple question,” How are you tonight?”
The dark corners of my room,flickered with light.
How nice it was to feel some human connection,After so many years void of kindness and affection.
We talked a bit, from day to day.
It was all innocent chatter.
Til,one night, our hearts finally gave way.
We saw each other, a simple embrace. Pulling apart with smiles on our face.
It had been so long, since either of us felt a warm touch.
We both knew we needed each other, and realized how much. That night, we parted . Still innocent of any wrong. Returning to our prisons,humming a hopeful song.
This feeling we felt,so honest and true.
You longing to hold me.Me yearning for you.
Where our love led us, what happened next.
Waits to be written, in poetic text.
