About This Place
This abandoned place sits in silence
yet the memories linger on,
as they whisper of past innocent love
that long ago was destroyed.
Up and down and sideways
we would sit for hours in such ease,
sharing dreams from deep within
as trust was forged with such strong promise.
So many days of anticipation I remember
as I return in my quest to face the pain,
that has haunted me since I waited that day
and my hopes of our future were surrendered.
But it seems that I must relinquish
that faith I held for so long,
I desperately wish to hear your spirit
speak to me about your abrupt disappearance.
I still hear the laughter and feel the comfort
of times I thought would never end,
but all I hear now is that so soft squeak
as our abiding friendship floats away upon the breeze.
And as we shared our secrets
enveloped within this world for two,
I feel the tears roll slowly
for the promise that never ensued.
The threads of my life's tapestry
began with parts of you
and as it starts to unravel
I search for answers from the past.
