"An answer"

@Uootem

Searching for an answer...
(perhaps, any answer would do)
to the questions that haunt me
(why? and how? and ever again?)
written on tear stained pages
of unrealistic dreams... wantings... and hopes
recording there another nostalgic yearning
with the pen of my lifetime...
a poem is given spirit.

Sitting here in a garden alone...
cold and void... for the garden sleeps through winter
I remember the spring time glory of this place
as I try to remember why i am still here
drowning in the smell of memories
and viewing the beauty that did not last
walking the pathways where hands once were held.
In winter loneliness lies deep...
now stopping at a fountain
that once flowed with the waters of forever.
The love feelings unfathomable still
all desolate now... this garden
where we spent our youthful days together
a place that should have been locked away
with adolescent uncertainty and fears.

Searching for an answer...
to the questions that haunt me
(why did our love not last when it felt so right?
and
how do I forget the unforgettable way you made me feel?
and
will I ever again find the love you once shared with me?)
and a poem is given spirit
with the perplexities of lost love.
