As Hard As I Try

As Hard As I Try
August 25, 2004

I can still see your face,
Still know your voice and ways.
I can remember everything you said,
Where we went, what we did,
Together, my first family.
I know what you would say,
To me after a hard day.

But you don't know at all.
Don't remember where we lived,
How you taught and helped,
Me, her, everyone.
You can't imagine me,
Don't know, can't remember,
Who you used to be.

My only role model,
The good in my broken life,
You fell and I'm lost,
To you and your broken mind.

As hard as I try,
I can't make myself go,
Can't visit you there, now
So gone, so alone.
Hope this doesn't make me,
A bad person, leaving you
In a small room, not knowing
A thing that's going on...

I just can't bring myself to see,
Know, feel for you,
Now that you're gone, so gone
Wondering if it will do any of us good,
Certainly not me, maybe a little you?
I just don't know, don't know anymore.
Sorry I've left you, but not forgotten,
I will never let you go.
My heart holds so tight.

My only role model,
The good in my broken life,
You fell and I'm lost,
To you and your broken mind.

This broke my heart to read and brought tears to my eyes. It touched me beyond words, massively so.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
