Bobette Bryan's Poetry



Without You

The moon doesn't
shine down without you
and the stars don't speak to me.
The night is just night
unless my thoughts
are leaning into you,
prying into the most secret
part of your soul.
Surely you must
wonder why I won't
just go quietly.
You must ponder
this strange bond
between us
as much as I do.
I tried to break
free from you,
but found that
I just can't,
and so I've decided
to remain with you
and keep this madness;
knowing that God,
in His greater wisdom,
and for reasons that only
He understands,
gave us to each other;
knowing too that
without you,
I couldn't live.
