Unforgettable

You are unforgettable 
never alone
No distance to far
a screen prayer or phone

You’ve always been strong 
I know by what I’ve read
It doesn’t matter
those things he’s said

Watch him walk away
let that little man go
Your true stronger self
will surely grow

Please don’t call 
resist to follow
his words of pain
are not yours to swallow

In the sheets of rain 
a dying flame 
As he walks slowly away
forget his name

The night is wet and cold
I can feel you shake
Going through pain
is not a mistake

Suffering’s not forever
a new flame will ignite
Like the Phoenix
you will take flight

For you are unforgettable 
never truly alone
Reach across the distance
by screen prayer or by phone

"You are unforgettable" These three words should always touch the heart. This is beautiful and tender- holding so many emotions. As I am reading your words- "Unforgettable" is playing in the background. Truly sets the mood. Deep sigh. Congratulations Richard, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy
