Stopping Denial
I tried to stop you
i tried to stop you!
i held fast to your hand
don't go! i pleaded
take me, take me
you pushed me away
roughly
just to get your
point across
you don't need to go
where i am going
it is going to be tough
you wouldn't be
able to keep up
My Darling, my darling,
i wept as you faded from
my sight............
i could not believe YOU
left me...
you left your wife
left me standing at
the door
i got as busy as any wife
would do.....
i put posters in
every city
have you seen my man?
your precious picture
stared down at me
i traveled the world over
not looking for anything
but your image
i ignored the sights in Paris
and the pyramids
of Egypt
i sailed the oceans
and walked the hot,
hot sands
my eyes were blinded
with the tears;
tears of loss
that i was unwilling
to understand
i looked at your
pictures and traced
your likeness with my
fingers
i got myself on talk shows
and begged you to return
to me...to return to any
given place
when all was finally
said and done
i drifted back to
visit with our
dearest friend
she took my hands
and said.......my dear
friend, you have
to remember
that he is dead
