What lays behind....

What lays behind....


To understand what lays
Behind and beyond
In a brief shared moment
Of painful contemplation
Our worlds shake between us
As we wrestle with tears
And gaze pleadingly to each other

I will hold your hand until you are

No more

Stumbling clumsily
I struggle with my convictions
As you hold grimly
To the last of your empire
The throne once valiant
With me willing and only born
My chest pounds in awful acceptance

I will hold you close until you are

No more

Bouncing weakly between
My strengths collide
With your heroic stubbornness
I falter then
A silent scream permits none
To know how close I am
To all you ask and all you wish

I will comfort you until you are

No more

Our eyes lock with lost words
The ones which now need not be spoke
Until the next and until that past
I steady myself for the days
That end all fight
When the spirit shall soar
And we wander together once more in dreams

I will always love even after you are

No more
