I wrote this Poem after my then boyfriend and fiance told me that he was thinking about becoming a priest. I think it sums up the whole moment rather neatly. We didn't break up until some years later. If I had broken it off then, the next several years would have been much better. Who knows, maybe I could have found my knight in shining armor.
It is strange, re-reading these poems is making me remember the moments and emotions so clearly. I wasn't aware of how easily I can connect words to feelings and emotions. Perhaps this is a talent I should explore more; perhaps it will help me find my voice again.
Fear
He speaks to me with his eyes,
His posture speaks too,
He has something hard to say,
and is afraid.
I listen with my ears,
As well as with my heart,
I am listening to something hard
and am afraid.
