for Helen
Darling though you are gone
I will not lose you
you are my citizen
you make me human
let me talk on
I will not abuse you
You wander through the streets of my mind
though now another
woman to whom I am blind
is Helen in another land
O when we could understand and stand
each other
I knew you uncertain, determined
to honour life with accurate response
who could not seriously pretend
who drew up funny plans
who hurts me now as snowflakes touch the wind
who loved me once
Hey thanks Lailani. Glad it says something to someone after all this time.
This hits and conveys the emotion.
