And I am looking
for healing within
the hands of a woman
who claims
she still sees
all the colours
I have felt fading
from somewhere
deep
inside of me.
And I am searching
for clarity within
the hands of a woman
who claims
she still sees
all the light
I have felt dimming
from somewhere
deep
inside of me.
And I have been praying
for peace within
at the hands of a woman
who claims
she still sees
all the faith
I have felt leaving
from somewhere
deep
inside of me.
This sadness,
it cloaks
the walls
of the chamber
where your blood
still ferociously
beats,
but deep
inside
is a corner
where a father’s love
can never leave.
Despite the mourning
and the grieving,
I still hold
love unconditionally.
And though it hurts
and you are gone,
forever
I will keep
the love
you locked into
that place
where nothing
can
take it from me.
Not grief
nor doubt,
not even
my own damned
melancholy,
for I am
a daughter
who had a father
who loved her
unconditionally,
and I promise
to remember
every moment
who I am,
and who you
always knew
I would
eventually be
until that day
when we are
together
and you are
smiling
back at me.
