Her Sacrifice.

She eats from plastic plates, giving me the fine China
She waits for my kiss, because even after fifteen years, I still give her butterflies
She looks at me like
Like I'm the only one on earth that can carry her heavy heart
So I weep, and holding paper cups to my eyes, she drinks away my bitter tears, because she cannot bear to witness my sadness
I am her man, fragile, like steel awaiting her molten soul
She continues to walk upon the thorny branches of this relationship, while I seek shelter beneath the willow she planted
I cannot comprehend the rock beneath my feet, but it's up to me to cement the cracks when they appear.

Thank you Tony, these words are very real, emotions that have been with me for quiet some time now, my wife puts me in a pedestal and carrys it upon her shoulders. She is strong, stronger than I could ever be, she needs to know this.
Thanks for your kind words, x
This is brilliant, Gerard! I love this. It is pinned so I can read again and again. True love is never a smooth path but it is the best path and a journey that is sooo worth it x
Definitely CJ, it is the best thing we humans have, a true gift worth every drop of blood.

You're an awesome poet Gerard. Continually improving whereas sometimes I go backwards.

Thanks Syd, we all go backwards sometimes, I wrote a poem recently, it was about trump and his cult followers, I deleted it because I felt it was shrouding my true love for poetry, mixing politics with poetry is something I shouldn't do, maybe you just need to get rid of some weeds.
I think your poetry is brilliant.
Take it easy.
Thank you for baring the soul. Emotive, visual and very well written..
