Call the Question

You're gone but not forgotten
youve shown me and displayed
the ropes that now are rotten 
that held us to this grave

And in this space between us
where empty now resides
we've filled the void with cautious
memories that cannot die

These things that pulled us further
and deeper in these lies
I never thought you'd move her
to the apple of your eye

You can't unbreak the pieces
that have fallen here between us
and throw it in my face

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
