Counted Arrows
Counted Arrows
By Nancy Rodriquez
When you ran away and broke my heart ,
I was all alone there in the dark ,
Left with my thoughts of pure sorrow ,
Without a tear left for tomorrow ,
I had to search deep within ,
Remember to breathe and take it all in ,
This changed everything I knew to be true ,
I counted arrows which impeached me too ,
Not simple darts on the surface ,
This experience left me in hell’s fiery furnace ,
Without healing to soothe my being ,
I lived in disbelief of what I was feeling ,
I relinquished my soul to the inner wounding ,
My faith was in pieces as my heart was bleeding ,
To be without my lover and friend ,
There had to be mercy for this to end ,
Surely in this life can’t be these ashes remain ,
To look up to the heavens once more , from this exhausting pain ,
Seeking my love at the next resting shore ,
Not having the courage to close this connection’s door.
