Dennis Davis Poet Verse

Buried In My Mind

when she left and said good by
                 I felt apart of me wither an die
                 it hurt beyond any feeling I have ever known
                 she took away everything 
                 that ever meant anything to me
                 my love my children my dignity

                 so I had to do what I thought was best
                 I buried her in the darkest corner of my mind
                 a place where the sun will never shine
                 I took the spade and dug the hole where she's now laid
                 where the wind blows cold and it always rains
                 in the darkest corner of my mind

                 I laid her there in her place of eternal rest
                 I had to do what I thought was best 
                 for me and my sanity

Mental survival is what I glean from your very well-written poem. I find this as great medicine. I hope u do as well. Gwendolen
