The Unforgotten Soul

The death toll is rising,another name added to the list. you sit back an stare at a grave with an angry clutched fist. You'll never know the burden of love I carried for you an our pictures of yesterday show you never knew. Your out of arms reach an the answers buried six feet deep. But the memories of our friendship is a treasure I'll forever keep. The unforgotten soul of yesterday an the memory of today You lived one day at a time with very little to say.You kept the pain inside and your answers to questions locked in secrecy. And you goals for the future will for- ever remain a mystery. I'm paralyzed by the silence and the darkness taken my sight Trying to uncover the truth about your life. I sometimes imagine crawling towards your arms because I'm to weak to stand. The tears are burning my face as i try to reach your hand. Awaiting the day to touch your face and your hand to hold I'll remember the love and friendship of the unforgotten soul.
