Broken Bones

You won the fight,

I was wrong and you were right.

I lay here exhausted

From the turmoil.

...

Something has died within me,

A part of my spirit broken.

I must place my spiritual bones

Into a cast so they can heal.

...

Six months to set things straight,

Six months without strain,

No strenous activity

And living with daily impairment.

...

Truly, the ones we love the most will always hurt us the most.

The depth of the hurt will always mirror the depth of the trust and intimacy shared.
