Crippled Soul
Your cry for help was silenced
Only by the dragging of your feet
As you struggled to propel
Your torso as erect as physically
Possible in your condition
And yet you stood so strong
Images in the mirror marred by
Your weakened limbs and stumbling stride
I wish you had believed in me
Where others had failed you
I would have carried you
Through any storm yet your
Selfish pride took you from me
Did my kindness hurt you?
Drive you to the end?
I will never know for every
Question I have you took the answers
With you my sad suffering soul
My wish for you is peace wherever
Your soul may be
A prayer carried upon the wind
To embrace your loneliness.
