Laid to Rest

Over lost time,
my old friend,
I've watched you become
a bettered man.
And I am grateful
for the grin you wear.
Genuine, thoughtful,
teeth gloriously bared.

Long ago,
I met you, a boy.
A sweet little cherub,
a life you enjoyed.
Yae, you were glorious
with your eyes full of wonder

until you met me,
when your life drowned deep under.

Foolish girl, that I was.
Young and hard-tempered.
I thought I was golden,
I thought I was clever.
I thought myself an honour,
and you the prize-winner.
But you were the award,
and I, the begging sinner.

You did right to rid of me
for you are much better.
I grew much more modest,
I... not so clever.
Dear old friend,
be, please, not so begrudging.
I did my time long ago,
I look not for your judging.

But ye, I understand
if I am not worthy
to have a spot within your world
for I am garbage, I am unworldly.

You, my old friend,
forever do I owe...
You hang the moon,
The garden's you've sown.
I was a fool,
an idiot at best.
But, Lord, I'm so sorry
I laid love to rest.
