TOGETHER
-
You promised me you would
Live as long as you could
And be there for me
For as long as I can see
You broke your promise
And I walk alone now
Don't know somehow
I thought I can heal
And see it as real
But my life was with you
And we were tied as one
All those years now
Just washed away
Your memories keep me
Going another mile
For how long can I smile
My feet don't carry me
My mind aches to remember
If I had my last breath
It would be soon then
For I can join you
Wherever you are
So can keep that promise
For eternity!

Poetry: Grief
by Sid de Knees
Hey Dad, I love you.
Oh father promise me, you'll live,
if it should be that I die first,
don't ever starve yourself of life,
or
It is four years now since that awful call
And still I cannot stand up proud and tall
My mind crawling in darkness round
where
Trapped in memories of our yesteryears,
that are locked in archives in my mind,
I can’t advance while stalled in the
Grief
In the grip of grief, I suffer the pain I feel
It is so unreal, the hurt, a distasteful meal
That makes me weep,
Loneliness
When the Dark
Brings Tears
............
I gazed out toward
the cold graveyard
and wondered if
she was peaceful
