After All We've Been Through...
Full view please :)
Once again Sally Omar has written a beautiful poem to accompany this image. Check it out After All We’ve Been Through
girlinthestars my favourite RB poet and RB friend, also wrote an amazing poem for this piece. Here is After All We’ve Been Through:
I listened to advice
And so, I am here alone
Lying in a creaking boat of hope
As bitty holes let
Our tragedy seep in
And I start sinking again
I have tried to convince myself
That, yes
Yes
This is right
We should not be together
Their counsel for me to let you go
Is for something I surely don’t see
And yet they know
But then why?
Why is there an aching so deep
That any task needs
Absolute relevance to my existence
Or else I don’t even care
Why is there a picture in my mind
Of a summer’s day
And no matter how hard I try
You are there with me
You are squinting in the sun
You tell me things that I believe
And the very thought of it
Encompasses my body so much
I feel I have lived it
And when I open a book
That is supposed to engage me
Why do you gently land upon the page
In disguise of a butterfly
And I follow you
To a vast field
That smells of rain
A nostalgic scent of innocence
And life
And everything I want
Everything I hoped for
Begins to evolve in it all
And it always leads me back to you
This tightening in my chest
Protesting
After all we’ve been through
The drenching sun upon the crack of my ceiling
Love is not perfect, it’s a perfect feeling
I want them to tell me what is so fantastic
About this life I am living now
I want them to fill that barren wall
Or at least putty the holes in
I want them to call me at midnight
And make everything ok
I want them to sew up that dress that I tore
Like an invalid in the loss of us
But most of all
I just want you
And that’s the least of what they can do
