In The Shadow Of The Iris

A womans words, give voice to the thought.
The things that should be said, the answers that should be made.
Outlast. How long does outlast give?
Can outlast be measured by months, by moments, by patience?
Patience and Guilt.
Can the two make it through the test of time.
Can guilt continue to ask for patience, and does patience understand the rewards.
In every heart there are pieces to which rational thought and irrational action take place.
I've never struggled as hard, as I have these last few months, to do the right thing.
There is one person who has suffered my consequences because of this.
To him, I am eternally sorry. 
To him, I am eternally thankful for he showed me love like no other.
To him, I can only hope outlast is worth waiting for.
Outlast is the last of the wait.

  I wonder if "he" outlasted?... Or did "he" endure some, and then go kaput?... Hmmm.

  Be as gentle with yourself as you are with others.
