“Sweet Reprieve”
So long to the ever afters.
So long to you.
I know that mornings are so much wiser,
Than the evenings.
Dreams I had the other night are thru
Light keeps shining in my eyes.
Perhaps no one lives long enough
To keep finding out the answers
I knew you to be smaller and older
But always in my mind,
You were much younger and taller
When you left I closed the door
Closed my eyes and sat upon the floor
All my life black and white,
Of this photograph,
I will always start to cry.
Don’t make frowns you silly clown,
Discarding pieces of yourself
In a fit of passion.
Leaving the sadness
With your heart,
Behind.
I might never see what was there,
A second time.
Yet back at the beginning,
We will keep remembering,
Moments in memories
Might they
last a bit more,
A sweet reprieve given
Before they are gone.
