Wallow

Send all your men, 
I surrender, 
I will not say 'don't shoot', 
For what's gone is gone,
The battle is lost.
Yet whilst my hollow frame, 
Aches and yearns, 
This world still turns.
So don't seek reason, 
Don't ask why, 
Drown in loss.
What's gone is gone.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
