Change in wake

In my thoughts of you

sorrow wars with happiness

with delineation I cannot trace

and it seems sad

that something so good

should hold such a taint

be clouded by

such a selfish thing

the wallowing in ones wanting misery

that I vow to smile

at your recurring face

and not dwell on could have been

but on the memories

that did take place.
