A short poem written spring 2011.

You trace the lines
Too close a step
In age and time, but never yet

For you, to me
You go, I stay
Bury you beneath the grave

The aching heart,
The guilty soul,
I know not now my own control

But you know, I know
Insignificance now
It drifts with you between the clouds

Not a kiss to linger
On the pout of my lips
The death of a lover
A memory missed
