This is my first try at poem. I just had this idea for Patrick Jane and I was so relieved to get it out from my system. Please, do tell me what you think…. =)

Poem for Patrick Jane

burden by past

soul darken by tragedy

a wounded, battered man

only when you have lost

you will realize

what's important

and what's not

what's worth living

and what's living worth

the pain of losing

run and stab one so deep

deeper than the pain of betrayal

but the similar dull ache; never ending pain

never to be removed; it stays; it haunts

heightened and wounded by words and memories

softened and cured by hope and trust

will there be a day when this lump in this throat will be easier to swallow?

will there be a day when this eyes will not sting from those faces?

will there be a day when this heart will not skip a beat from those names?

will there be a day when this ear will not hear from those laughter?

will there be a day when this nose will not catch from those faintest scents?

will there be a day when this stomach will not churn from the painful reminder?

will there be a day when this wound will ever be heal?

time will tell and time will most probably heal

but just as a broken heart can never be whole again

so does the one that had lost its' purpose of beating
