Sometimes
for our own good
I dream of having the ability
to spare you the agony
the despair
the vivid, hopeless pain
of endings
crash landings
failing.
Sharing your whole soul
with a passion
or a person
only to have it vanish
sometimes in a moment
sometimes in many piled high.
The dreams you had
the faith, the investment
the love you tenderly nurtured
Blasted from your heart
sometimes by fear
sometimes by cruel misfortune.
Ah, but as dearly as I wish
to spare you suffering
I must confess a wonderful joy
in watching you arise once more
sometimes slow and tentative
sometimes resilient and bold
never the previous you
reinvented
wiser.
Fresh
scarlet
scars
still stinging
but well-earned
following a heart
you once trusted
and will once more.
