Funny, another September
Has come, soon will be gone


This coming October
Will blow with remembrance
Colors that have changed
Will gather upon the ground
Soon November, time to remember
Wonder if you often do?


As I watch the colors changing
I somehow hold back a tear
This was supposed to become easier
Yet has become harder
Each second, minute, hour, day
Now has become twenty-four months
Agonizing hell, guess the devil has to be paid


Words and whiskey
Pills and pain
Some have numbed
Others the same
For unlike the colors of the trees
When I hear the leaves rustle in the breeze
I realize, through it all
I still have not changed
Guess I never will


Asked God
to take
your memory away
And perhaps someday...he will

Thank you for this,
it speaks to me and reaches a place  
that I too wish I could forget.

A very beautiful work of heart it is!

This feels like it is a piece of your heart. It's very well-written.
