Bearing the pain

Away from love
My heart is torn from my chest.
Love that shines true
Burns the soul that is left behind.
Time freezes like deep winter.
My breath comes quickly
And the darkness of unconsciousness
Looms overhead.
I long for peace of mind
But the darkness temps even the
Strongest of bodies.
We wish for love
Even if it burns to the touch.
Oh, how I long for love
That floats peacefully
Like the leaves in the fall
Or the snowflakes of winter—
A feather-light and gentle
Touch
Without pain.
For the moment
I’ll withstand it
I will withstand it,
Bear the burden
Of love.
