AWAKE ALIVE
I cannot change things.
I can’t erase the pain you felt.
Time heals no wounds –
They bleed more if nothing else.
Tears stream down my face
Heart carved into a million pieces at your passing
Life seems out of place
Hollow now you’re missing.
Even though so long gone
You still fill such a void
The emptyness inside me –
That everyone ignored.
Unconditionally the only way you knew
You gave free first felt hope
And when I buried you
It was like shoveling soil over myself.
I grieve now for myself.
I wouldn’t wish you back
Onto this plain the way you were –
Suffering and sick
In the field of green dreaming takes me where you are
Hold fast to each “I love you”
– until I join you there.
1992-2001 xox for everyone.
LOVE Jennifer
