Unrequited Love

Memories clasped in the cotton hands
don’t let go
don’t let go.

A midnight whole in this heart

You were compelled to relinquish your life,
to abandon us,
for a greater world,
to serve a new purpose

but the abundance of glee you gave us
will never. Drown.

My passion for you
is deeper,
deeper than the sea.

Your life entwined into every thread.

Your decrepit body lying, motionless, Surrounded with love

Then gone

My heart torn out like a page from a book

The storm will pass they said,
it weakened but the rain never let up

Man’s best friend
