Loss Time

Your unwavering stance Occupied a barren region, Lingering there like a withering flower Before you ultimately departed; I suffered beforehand – Missing our laughs, and talks, And trips to new places - I endured your scarcity, I mourn we loss the time To conquer our declining bonds Previous to your leaving, and you Finding a new dwelling place, Somewhere I cannot visit – presently; The ever unfathomable crevice Between us - Befalls a mystery to me, I meditate upon the why. What threw us into that chasm? Our not holding each other dear, Dropping us into that never ending abyss - I assumed it would pass with the rain, Then we would have another day, Another laugh, another talk, one more hug. It never came to pass - With great sadness – Tears grasp around my throat, my mind, my heart. I shake my head and I say, “Not”. It is a battle I fight each night, How I wish it naught!! My peace I fight to keep; And yet, I cry every night.
