She was here

She was here

So very near

Her image clear

Then she's gone, she’s gone among


She sees you

So very true

Your life is her life

Then you're gone, you've gone among


The children grew together

Then they grew apart

Until life stopped forever

Unspoken broken hearts


Seeing was believing

Believing the feelings disturbed

Feelings, ceilings, broken open

Space, place, beings, being observed


The adults pulled together

Then they pulled apart

Dreaming of living forever

Then breaking their already broken hearts


Travelling for ever

Travelling to nowhere near

The destination becoming clear

Approaching here, approaching anonymity


Touch is the insurmountable cost

Itself lost in numbness, itself lost in fear

Guiding hands, comfort hugs, lost by the victims

Nothing’s left, only the emptiness is sincere


Tranquility was a passing moment

Sensuality was the togetherness missed

Rebirth brought salvation

Hope eternal sprang around them everywhere


The kiss everyone remembered

The missing memory of bliss

The family tribe is no longer mentored

The story is mine through sheer remiss
