Whole.

It’s spring in New England and there are potholes. Like, oh-my-gosh-I’m-going-to-loose-my-car-in-one-of-these potholes. The solution for this is to simply patch them. So, dark, serrated lumps— attempted patches— scar the streets. But, this isn’t long term healing. When winter comes again their seams will form new holes.

Relationships are like this. Sometimes in winter, hearts break. But don’t reach for a patch. Because patches sit like scars on your soul— dark and rough. And where their seams meet your skin they will make new holes.
So forgive, my friend. Rip up the road and pave anew. It will make you whole.

5.27.12 Variable

You think because you failed suddenly I don’t love you?
You think because you held another closer now I’ve turned away?
You’ve said those terrible words.  I heard you.
You’ve thought those blackened thoughts.  I saw them.
You shoved a hurting man away.  I felt it.
And now you cower in the darkness.  You think that’s where you belong.

NO.        I’M STILL HERE.

The only thing that can ever change is the circumstance, love. 

I want you just the same.
I care just the same.
I love you just the same, child.
There’s never going to be a variable there.
