Let not

A Poem by Dave W.

Some things are worse than death

Let not comfort reside

in your soothing voice.

Let not happiness belong
to your presence.

Let not peace in
time spent with you.

For you have left
now nothing helps.

How weak of me
to give my heart
out like that.

Yet how could I
defend from your
obscure ways.

There was no protection
from your kindness,
what could I do,
you wanted to spend time with me,
I was something special.

The minds eye prophesied
our future together,
then,
nothing,
you stopped talking,
I was the last on your list,
now others were special.

There was no reason given
for the change in weather,
the stream has frozen over.

What a fool I was,
what a fool I am,
good bye hits as a wall.

I long for eternal sleep uninterrupted by life.......
