The Way It Should Be (Free verse) by venusdemilo
As the sun comes over the horizon And I feel your hair on my face I remember why I missed you...us The security and familiarity The love and joy Being away from you Was the worst kind of torture Worse that being burnt, cut, or kicked For my pain was on the inside Hidden from everyone but me I felt it, it sank me And the world went on... without me But that was then So long ago but fresh in my mind As I'm sure it will be for a long time But you're here, and I'm here, together... The way it should be.

Up the ladder: Acquaintance
Down the ladder: The Callous
