Remember

When apart people in head are seen unclear

Emotional reality's like darkness, filling in gaps with the desirable

The unknown seeking answers when she's no longer near

A friendlier voice in mind appears when the Gulf Breeze is breathable

Though family close she's thought of most

Considering self seclusion it's quite believable

I'll justify her ignore, and let it reoccur

Until she's too faded from friends for favors

Until the lines blur, and we're so far from what we were

There's no joy nor chore to savor.

Floods of apathy drowning in reverse

Spreading disconcern with content due to warning

Stating I'd be cold without contact and adverse

Separation caused your death and it's mourning

Like Bent this is now I must remember

Accurately, need be with repetition or note

So that mental sight and cerebral dismember

When in doubt rehearsing the reasonable wrote

Inconsideration cuts like glass under foot

Burning like hands on a hot stove

Childhood lessons telling limbs stay put

This to the lonely, a lesson trove
