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
