HOME
Together we sat
Under a leaking roof
Misery, I and a broken heart
*
Two moons and a quarter
Through the clanging of bells
And the period of the sleigh
We sat
Quietly
And the world watched
While it raged outside, within
And my heart bled out
Slowly
*
Then Misery got cold
And the heart mended slowly
Hardened and became rusty
The naivety gone
Replaced by a wariness
That distrusted trust
And yielded nothing
*
Now
We are fine
Unbroken
Still broken
Whole
In no search for another
*
We are home.

That gave me some really powerful imagery about heartbreak. Well written, Joe. First comes the storm, then comes healing. Then you’re home.
