ONCE WE WERE A FAMILY
Where has it gone
How did it fade
like an eternal sunset
never to rise again
or the last ripple
the numbing calm
of now stilled water.
Was it just a dream
One of life's many facades
cruel, vindictive, unrelenting
illusionary forces deceiving
shattering all hope
renewing our worst fears
pointed accusations
shredding the fabric
the foundation
of our emotional selves
with guilt, failure, shame
until all that each of us
possesses
are the cold...wet tears
seeping into the pillows
a final stain
where we once shared
this dream called love.
Now, all that we hold
soon fades in memorys' eye
for once we were a family
now... just an empty picture
on the shelf......
