Never FadeA Poem by Shon Harvis
If I thought you could hear me,
I would yell it out above the crowd, at the top of my voice, calm, crisp, and loud. I would scream that I love you, I'd let you know that I care no matter what you're going through, I will always be there But you cannot hear me To consumed by your pill As I watch you slowly fade away, I too, am one it will kill. Yet unlike your scent on the shirt you left behind, your memory will never fade, as I sit here hanging on To all the good times, and the promise that I made If I thought you could hear me I would yell above the crowd Above those voices inside you That keep you bound If I thought you could feel me, I would reach out to your hand If I thought that I could heal you I would beg together we stand But my mind cannot think I can only beg and pray That God will be the answer and he will show you the way. Some say to run You must let her go She belongs to the drugs now She's not the girl that you used to know If I could believe you were gone I could let you go I love you too deeply To let you die alone © 2023 Shon Harvis |
