About This Place

How 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.

Clouded by a negative past experience which is not worth prolonging. Well expressed emotions; glad to see that the final lines look to the future and not to the past; time to move on! hugs // paul
