'Tis surely some demented game?
That she lives no longer
and is but a picture in the frame
on the shelves of my silent memory,
a feeling in a heart lame
crippled with the fear of forgetting,
of losing every detail, maybe even her name!
To damage self, somehow maim
limb or figure, that my suffering
outside and inside be the same
and that some may ask and I respond
her rememberance to claim
with words of her kindness and love
and in attonement for the blame
I now bear for letting go
of the lovely, lovely dame
that was my solid ground
my heaven and flame.
How my sadness now to tame?
My life so hollow, to what aim? Copyright © 2011 Erick Calder |
