The Ways I Love You

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

 

I love You,

and I hope You know

how much 

You have changed my life

just by being You.

 

I love You,

as the streams full of stars

flow alone at night

amidst smooth rocks

where translucent fish fly

between surface and sky.

 

I love You,

as You travel

through timeless dawns

that glide across the ages

to touch my life.

 

I love You

You rescued me

from the darkest night

where I struggled with lies

and the eternal 

suffering of being.

 

I love You,

because You are the only one

in my corner

when I fight with my life’s ghosts

and struggle to take a breath

You calmed my fears.

 

 

I love You,

where birds carry my spirit high

and southern winds

carry me away

above oceans and lands

 

I love You

Inspired by the New Testament

Inspired by "The Book of Longings" - author Sue Monk Kidd

Inspired by, "Te Amo" - poet Julia de Burgos

I have been sharing very personal history, sometimes I need to purge my soul. This poem came to mind while thinking about a few times I thought about killing myself. I didn't have friends and my children are my only family close to me, but I couldn't talk to them about it. God was the only one on my side, but He was all I needed.

I have horrible panic attacks that make me feel like I can't breathe, it's an awful feeling. Some of my depression episodes have been so bad that I thought about killing myself. I didn't want to die, it was just too hard to live.

I still feel bad about myself but I'm working on it.

Fortunately, I do feel better. I have a good doctor and found the right medication. I live with my daughter and grandson. He is a precious little boy, I take care of him. It's hard to be sad around him.

( lifeline for suicide prevention is 988)

I hope sharing my personal experiences will help somebody.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem,

Gypsy
