X
X-Ray
As one sits and wonders about things
They may feel the need to x-ray all that has transpired
In the days months and years
That have lead them to this place
One would need an x-ray camera
That would be able to sort all of these emotions and feelings
That have caused such a rift
What has happened?
All that is left is raw feelings of contempt and hatred
Would the x-ray machine reveal something else
What is the underlining pain that
Has brought them to this place
Where one cannot even talk in a civil tone
Would the x-ray machine reveal the hurt and pain
The unresolved issues that have been buried year after year
The layers of neglect
The I don't give a dam attitude
What would the x-ray reveal?
Loss
Loss
Illness
Un-forgiveness
Low self esteem
What would the x-ray reveal?
Was there any hope at all?
What could the x-ray machine reveal
Could this relationship be saved
Could there be resolve and healing
Could there be resolve and healing
Even after all this time of neglect
The only hope left was to termite the relationship
A new beginning that would bring them both hope
That they could be happy once again
To be loved for who they are
To be healed from all the hurt and pain

Popping by from the A-Z Challenge. Loved the poem and the take on X-Ray. I struggled with X and also choose X-Ray but my post couldnt of been more different if I had of tried - I decided to explain how X-Rays work!
