I Guess the World Didn't Stop For My Broken Heart

Alone with my thoughts

Pondering our goodbye

One embrace

A long gaze

A few words in hushed tones

Do not cry, you tell yourself.

Walk away

Look back once more

But you’re gone.

Tears flow freely

The soft rain mingles with them

How fitting

Heaven is crying with you

Feeling your pain

This is not farewell

We will meet again

But it feels like forever

Until then, I’ll hold it in

And cry when I am

Alone with my thoughts.

Life Changing Moments

Last night was the scariest and most wonderful night of my life, second only to Madeleine's birth. I knew the twins would be early, but I never anticipated going into labor in the middle of The Broken Piano. Eric was a state and Esna walked right into it all. Both got me home safe and the boys arrived at around three in the morning.

Heavens help me. They look so much like their father, but they are happy and healthy. For now, I need to rest. Then I will reconcile what has been broken.

Memories

I do my best to put my mind to work elsewhere, but everything I do reminds me of you. I'm haunted by memories, shadows, sounds. It's as if I can still feel your arms around me at night and your lips on mine. This is almost too much to bear. I wish you would come back to me. Please come back to me.
