Untitled

Do you lay there above the clouds watching me?

The tears of loss break open a wounded heart

Left alone

Bereft of the joy we once shared

And I'm here left to wonder

…

Have I had my turn?

I want to get back in that proverbial line…

To take a ride once more

To do things again

To feel the joy

The pain of the laughter

The strength of an unconditional love

Again left to wonder

…

Is this it?

Am I to be left here alone and forgotten?

Left to wither in some forgotten hell

I'm left to wonder

…

Did you hear them?

The prayers and wishes

Spread over a score of years

Or are they left unheard

Left there on the first star I saw each night.

Still have thought of a title for this one.
