Forever For You

If I could find a way to show you the words left unsaid, From a time when it meant most, as we moved quickly ahead Not knowing the dark curtain would fall upon us so suddenly Burying all we did as cruelty took a life too, unexpectedly The black crows couldn’t call loud enough that gray winter day When grief merged with fog and blurred everything in a way I will never forget words left at a grave too late, spoken to a memory Knowing we lost our chance in togetherness to finally be free No-one could know the battle we fought and the loss now endured Fallen upon my shoulders, a painful disease to be left uncured Here I am, years later in ways still alone, surviving as you’d want me to Although so much has changed, the old will never be new And as I hear the crows call, my words return again, forever for you Re-emerging in the fog, still with only an image of memory to speak to Heidi Sands 7/12/21
