taken
   by promising eyes
  right from the first
  left to thirst

   a swallow that's whole
   giving as this soul
  price of a handful of lies

missing
   out, throughout the years
  left there alone
  on one's own

   waiting just for you
   ... if you only knew
  the answers to all those fears

stolen
   now, precious these times
  wrong for such lives
  empty eyes

   wonder where you went
   left, such times how spent
  unable to see the crimes

this soul only knew how spent ...


   ** for a friend who just filed for divorce
      4 days after her 32nd Anniversary **

hugssssss love is tough even after 32 years

good to read you...

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
