One Year Ago Today
Sitting in the corner of a crowded room,
thinking back to that saddening day,
one year went much too soon,
a year since I let her fall away.
So much around me has changed,
yet my mind seems to have not,
a world of imprisonment so strange,
but even this couldn't change my thought.
a year of nothing but sorrow,
days of mourningful events,
today she is all I can swallow,
nothing else shall make a dent.
A tear shall be shed for my Kiyah,
a child whom I let get away,
long past when I expire,
should she have been enjoying the day.
