Gone, Not Forgotten

“ For the love so deep I fall
For the time we had I cry
For the memories buried I regret
I loved. Time burnt. Wound creaked. You were not there.
Too late. Couldn’t stop.
Couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t help.
God help me!
Help me for the walk I walk.
Help me for the beaten and shy. May I live.
May I live strong and steady.
May I live.
May I live not wrong but ready.

Waking up,
To the coldness, breezes stand still so lone.
Once or twice.
Angst and pain crept.
Through the veins, to the eyes.
Tears pulled. Sob drooled.

Oh, may God spare dignity,
In me. Here. Near.
So be it be gone. Gone,
Not forgotten. ”
