Sad lilies adorned in every corner,
How I wish I'd asked you sooner,
Regret's hands, I wish to be free,
Do tell, will you mourn for me?

Gently, let the invisible tears be wiped away,
By the lifeless trees surrounding me as they sway,
Let your heavenly eyes set upon me,
And answer the question; will you mourn for me?

Now dressed in white, pure as snow,
I lie motionless, emitting a sunny glow,
Slowly, you walk your way towards me,
Tell me quickly, will you mourn for me?

With arms wide open, I saw His majesty,
With choir of angels, singing joyfully,
Hesitant to come, for the man is standing right beside me,
The man who will answer the question; will you mourn for me?

No words came from the mouth, the silence is deafening,
Surprised I was as the man began crying,
Could it be me, the reason for him to be blue?
The man whispered, "I am mourning because of you."

The very words made me satisfied,
Now without regrets, I won't be reluctant to return to His side,
Thankful I am for he did answer,
The very question that I wish I'd asked him sooner.

For now I know that he truly adores me,
Too late our love is, how sad for I did not notice nor see,
My love, though I came before you,
Always remember, this heart will still be yearning for you.
Been busy for the past few weeks...

Snags in her tights,
Chipped black on her claws,
She stands against walls,
Vulnerable to the brawls.

A skirt grazing her thighs,
Too small for her liking,
She pulls at the seems,
And feeds the old men lies.

Lips that bleed,
Mascara stained cheek,
Frame too slim,
She's in the gutter, sensual and meek.

Lady of the night,
Rolls to your car,
beckons you with her finger,
hopes you won't linger.

A ten note slips,
Into her grip.
She squeezes.
It will feed her addiction.

She has money to pay,
Children to feed,
She digs her knuckles so much they bleed.

Life carries by,
As she tries to get high,
On the fumes of other men.

But the red light comes on,
Her skirt hitches up,
She cries as he whispers
good girl.

As he kisses her neck,
She thinks what the heck
Am I doing with my **** awful life,
Selling cheap love,
To father above,
In hope she gets a better price
than the tiny sum
From every business bloke that comes, beckons her into his arms.

She pulls at her pleather,
At her last tether,
Why am I in this life?

Soho's her home,
But it leaves her numb to the bone.

She has more than budget passion,
She craves style,
She fashion.

But instead the needle pierces,
And she sinks down,
Hating the body she's in,
Women walk and they frown,
But they don't understand how the girl feels deep down,
She just wants true love.

Oh heaven above?
If there is a Holy Spirit,
Let me be it,
For this withered young *******,
Belongs in your constitute,
Please, she begs, save me from the charity brutes.

I entrusted you with a tiny flame
to grow and to protect.
Together we grew it into a bigger one
You held it for me
So that one day I'd take
it back.
Why'd you douse it?
When it was still growing?
When I trusted you with something so important?
To me.
You ended what I believed in,
because you wanted something bigger.
I thought you'd be different.
But like every other shelter of
that little flame,
you failed.
Because you saw something more
magnificent.
You lost sight
of the beauty that you held in
your hands.
So you let
the rain fall through,
your crumbling will
and let it drip on the
growing flame.
So don't ask me for
another.
My match can't light another.

He told her she was pretty
Made her feel wanted and loved
Then walked away with the innocence
Of that sweet little dove

dad left
for his second tour of duty
on my third birthday

mom kept
a jar full of jelly beans
on the living room coffee table

every night
she gave me one to eat, saying
"when these jelly beans
are all eaten up,
dad will come back home"

sometimes
i would sneak another,
to help dad come home sooner

one night
the phone rang
and i watched mom
wipe away a tear
as she filled
the jar
back
up
On this Remembrance Day, I think of all those who have served, with a special thought for Dad.  And though she has no medals, I also think of Mom; every tour of duty Dad went through, she went through too, taking care of us on her own.

*** Edit: Thank you for all your kind words!  Due to a recent outpouring of sympathy, I feel it necessary to clear up the fact that my dad did in fact make it home from this mission; his tour had simply been extended for an additional 3 months.  Still, it isn't easy being part of a military family - and that's what I meant to show. ***

silent is the mourning
when crying seems inadequate
for the hurt.
