Looking Into the Past

Looking into the past
Growing a garden that won’t last 
Watering your garden with your tears 
That you have bled while you were there 
Forgive all the characters of your play 
They are figments of your imagination anyway
Please don’t go back there again today 
Your garden here is withering  away
We have been praying 
That you would come and stay
And live with us here in today
