Poem

Now that you have gone

I meander through lush memories,
of when we were young, and,
your heart was given so tenderly,
and my soul,
rejoiced in receiving it

The years passed
and I saw the snow fall,
and I discerned, 
that you received it's chill,
with open arms...

my zeal and affection
was not enough to warm you
and the last of our embers died.

Why did you not have the courage
or the will to resist the cold?

The stars I fought so hard to attain,
you returned them, without
so much as a thought, 
or a thank you.

I watched,
helplessly as our life unraveled , 
as time and 
unexpected events pulled our
heartstrings in 
different directions

My cello and I have become
solitary companions,
and I stroke her strings now
and she resonates with me
but only in a soulful dirge

I used to bathe in our memories,
until you dirtied the waters,
and now I'm stuck in the mud
that you left behind

The stars have departed now,
I gave them their wings and
released them with a soulful sigh

I look back for one last time
at what was, but now is not
and will never be again,

I trudge onward, the path to 
the future growing ever dimmer
now that you ...

have gone.
