Our sad truth

A chapter in the book A Silent Cry

One is Two

by Marjon van Bruggen



We who were one, are two since
this cruel dance, I bowed before you.
What once was a loving companion
is now my different friend
who cries out, groans with silly smiles
and swells up with noxious fluid;
he clamours for attention.

Ah, let us be true, the world which seemed
to lie before us like a land of dreams
so various, so beautiful and full of hope
today has neither joy, nor love, nor light.

Of course, I knew from the beginning of his illnesses that he was going to leave me sooner or later. It was difficult to foresee the complete change of the man I loved for so many years. I honestly tried to keep up appearances to myself, to cheat myself in believing I still loved him, no matter what. I broke down once in a while. Realising the truth.
