To Jade

You took the time to take my breath
And held my heart high to heaven.
Rather than reap the rewards you rightfully wrought,
You sang the solemn song I soulfully sought.

I pondered you to possibly be the panacea to pain,
And felt freedom's fathomless fire for the first time in forever.
I never knew how neglectful nothings navigated a noose around my neck
Until you gave me glee and granted my grief a grim grave.

While memories meander my mellow mind,
Emotions eternally ebb and ease what can't be erased.
I wonder under a wilting weeping willow of what and of when
The text and time will be when I can tell you a story once again.
