You left this earth without fanfare
The woman I used to love.
No one called to tell me
No longer was I important enough.

We parted long ago
And my life was never quite the same.
My friends now never knew you
Only I am left to remember your name.

But remember I do,
Sometimes against my will.
Despite my many blessings now
Part of me loves you still.

I pray you are now happy and at peace.
I pray you have found what you sought.
While you were here you struggled with the turmoil
With which your life was fraught.

I've thought of you often
Over these many long years.
I'll continue to do so now
Though now there will be tears.

I weep for your family
Your children left behind.
I mourn, too, for a life together that wasn't
As I was just too blind.
