Take Me Back To August

by Matters   Dec 14, 2005


Far from all the sanity,
An ever-fading cry,
Yet it's not to threaten me,
This August night you died.

All I can remember,
Is your head upon my chest,
Yet now a fledging member,
Of the never-ending rest.

The sweat traced endless trails,
Etching word on skin,
A bond when all else fails,
Digging deeper in.

Despite all your defiance,
What can captivate persuasion?
All set was the alliance,
Death upon invasion.

So as I stare so vivid,
Delicate and frail,
Take away the timid,
Defy the darkened veil.

Take me back to August,
Let me fight to save your death,
The sorrow of the longest...
Can you hear my saving breath?

    This is a beautiful poem, though it is dark and sad, it portrays the honourable wishes you have. If only we could go back and change the past... and yet we must move on from it, even when it is hard, and especially when we don't want to.
    Best Wishes
