I thought trust
might be an answer.
I hoped faith
would be the cure.
But you moved within
your own devices
and left me here,
unsure.

If only the answers
came as easy as questions.
If only the laughter
rolled as free as the tears.
If only your leaving
was a heavy decision.
If only love’s cost
was a price I could bear.

oh Jeph....
I remember how this feels.
the questions never go away....
the need for the answers just lessens....
this is heart touching and heart felt.
great writing from you as always.
glad to see you posting

That's what you get for thinking.
