Strangers

Strangers

 

How quickly, we who have been intimate

And shared so much closeness

Become strangers.

We move from the generosity of love

And kindness, understanding and hope

To suspicion and hate.

This defence allows us to survive

And cope with the seismic rift

Of a broken love.

Something we thought would last forever

But suddenly and catastrophically

Became a fatality.

Another statistic to add to the rest

Of the morbidity data of life.

Wax dripping on your skin
warm on your n*****s
as destiny plays her harp
and you feel secure
in your rapture.

Its a poem!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Free to consider
the meaning of love
you open yourself#to all possibilities

[John Alexander McFadyen]

and in that freedom
you discover meaning
you discover hope.
