Bent and Broken Wings (Free verse) by TLRufener
Lying alone at night
Unclothed, unloved,
Remembering a not-so-distant touch,
I wonder why
My angel was taken from me.
Perfection in my eyes;
Gently caressing with his touch;
The only love I have ever known
Now, only a memory.
That touch still lingers
As does a burning kiss
Drawing m nearer to the edge.
The edge of reason and respect;
Of following orders and commands.
Doing what the heart feels
Instead of what the mind thinks.
Being able to turn back.
Asking forgiveness for something
That can never be fully explained;
Never fully understood.
Lying alone at night
Wrapped in unloving blankets,
Remembering a forbidden love,
I cry for the loss of my angel.
I gave my hopes and dreams,
And now leave them forever
On his bent and broken wings.
