Child of Mine: Part 4

Every turn down lonely streets

brings one memory and my heart skips a beat

How many times must I see him almost there

and view his empty seat a lonely chair?



Fighting back tears with every passing thought

run and hide as one begins to drop

images from a dream dance in my head

now to quench the demon and find peace in bed.



Moving on, laging behind

am I ready to join that line

"Could haves" and "should haves" spin frantically in my brain

this one memory, one true pain, has driven me

completely insane.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

This and the three poems that preceed it are, at least in my opinion, self-explanatory, but if you have questions...I'm not one to dodge them.
