POEM (DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF LUCIE)


There is a silence in your bedroom
and it lies deep inside your heart
You sit dumbly in the corner
as I watch you fall apart
I don't know how it started
but I hear you softly weep
And I can find no words to say to you
as the tears run down your cheek
I didn't know how to comfort you,
I couldn't move from your bed
I told you not to worry
and left so much more unsaid
That night was long ago
and you have since been taken away
But I still think about you
and the words I did not say
