Softly flew
the words
from out
my head.
Words; thoughts,
never said.
Lovely words,
yet unused,
locked inside
to never
be read.

I miss you,
Words easily said.
I look for those days,
which will soon lie ahead.

Please help me understand,
why some people's life is blessed,
while others are cast away?
Survival of the fittest,
cruel at best.

Sitting here now,
pen in my hand,
hoping to write words,
strong and not bland.
Scratch out I must,
these words which you see,
before they are dust
and will no longer be.
The are no clear thoughts
of what this writing will be,
except to say they live
within my minds infamy.

Tell me your story.
Please, do tell me,
for I am still
waiting here, for thee.
Why do you worry
about nothing you know?
Just bits of small flotsam,
does not make it so.
