Poem
"I did not but see her passing by, and yet I will love her until I die." ~ Robert Menzies You don't know I am aware of the depth of your despair Or that I hear you crying when you think no one’s there The ailment within your heart is more than I can bare Yet, you have the innocence of a child I watch you disappear in shadows and I say a prayer Sad, am I when in your eyes there's a blank stare I would ask what makes you frown, but would you share Yet, not so long ago you smiled Silently, you tiptoe, timidly trying not to make a sound What do you write upon page after page, spiral bound? I marvel at your drawings, only those that I have found Yet, I wonder why you feel exiled What burden gives you cause to wear a dolorous face I would offer you my heart if your pain it could erase To brush away your sorrow, my hand would give chase Yet, the secret you hold is not reconciled I am helpless when clouds in blue above, you color gray Can I breach your wall of gloom and make it go away How do I paint a rainbow in your sky every single day Yet, no list of answers have I compiled It's an antidote, I seek to end the spillage of your tears What cure will abdicate from the throne, your deep fears Tell me, my love, why you've strayed from me for years yet, I know our love has not been defiled Do you feel locked within the vault of a sepulcher room Sweet bud, without reason to open your petals and bloom A gardenia in spring, scent lying trapped inside a womb Yet, would, if I could, join you in your world beguiled. May 6, 2023 Writing Challenge ~ 'Y' Words Sponsored by Constance La France
