Eight Years
We didn't have ample time.
Eight Years is
not
long
enough
I don't remember your voice
I remember your ring
I don't remember your touch
I think I remember the love
could you sing?
were you good?
could you dance?
could you draw?
Eight years is
not
long
enough
are you here?
In my heart?
They say you are
They say you are here
eight years is
not
long
enough
come back and
help me
I need you
We need you
Do you need me?
I have so many questions
so many thanks,
so many apologies
so many things to tell you
eight years is
not
long
enough
for me to remember
for me to remember the
little things and the
big.
I love you, I know you loved
me
but it is getting harder
for me to cry for you as you,
and now I cry because
there are so many gaps
I can only recall bits and peices
and soon, nothing at all
time will make this wound different,
unbearable,
not better
Eight years with you
is
not
enough
