Bye Gones

A full heart chokes too full to feel anything but broken. Seems all is lost and only phantoms linger must I remain? A hollow husk, a remnant yet, engorged and choking on maudlin memories lingering I cannot stop the feelings the haunted thoughts of loss surrounded by what’s broken. Rise up, wrap, beribboned breaks yes, I must remain for others have a need not lost in pointless, pitiful sobs and choking. Regain, search, reform to feel the worth of love which lingers. A man child grown who has lingered past the vows which broke too full, still, with anger of his own to feel I must remain anxious, prone, and choking for forgiveness must not be lost. Let it be forgiveness loosing let sweet reminiscence linger un-choked let the bond of love live unbroken though soon I must go and he remain and naught will be left to feel. For there are many types of feelings and many ways to lose what remains what lingers the broken chokings. Be gone death and loss remain but joy a lingering repair my broken life un-choked by grief.
