My Better Half

Even with tears cascading down your face,

You're beautiful to me,

I feel your warm compassion, 

With every blink of your eyes,

I can feel your love.

It breaks me every time, seeing you cry,

Touches my soul,

You are heaven to me, takes my breath away,

Hold me, hold me closer,

Hold my hand in this darkest night,

Emerge from the night,

Stand in your ethereal light,

You are my Godsend.

The subject of the heavens is expressed through different mediums, and I am not exempt from this subject of expression. I am to acknowledge where my gift comes from. 

This poem was written during the pandemic when everyone was doing their part to keep the collective entertained online. For many of us, connecting online was all we had. 

Several months after I shared this poem I was mocked for being "a good person". In that moment, I was completely taken back. I came to the realization that I am all that I have. I am and will forever be the closest "person" that I will ever have a relationship with.
