Foregather
As I try to make you surface
The waters of my soul
I wonder with wonder
Was my love at fault
For my hart refused your entrance
Yet you and your remembrance
Entered my entire being
Forsaking our existence
It again had to be this way
My wretched attempt I daresay
Without reward, deprived of pay
Restricted in being, lead astray
Yet my dignity makes me numb
This question drives me mad
Reality again strikes me bad
Leaving me furious if not sad
Have I not made the step
And found the title and splendor of reject
It was at least worth a foregather
I am the unmarked starver
Digging a deeper grave
In fear of no longer feeling safe
This thing and its harsh ways
A desperate need of your embrace
