Stay Awake Virginia Salter we believed them, stood by them those wonderfully powerful lines “with cords that cannot be broken” surely cords that strong are what held our love we could rely upon them, fully yet as the years rolled by we forgot to watch we neglected to be aware we did not see the coming despair we did not notice the hands reaching out the gripping of the cord, the unraveling as to a knitted sweater, life pulled, one long, unrestrained pull, while we watched not leaving the cord in a heap and two broken hearts that were asleep at the wrong time © June 14, 2001 |
