Piercing Platitudes

You didn’t know him

 

and gaze at his beauty

and hold him closely

and care so deeply

and touch him gently

and need him desperately

and love him instantly

and loose him quickly

and fight so fiercely

and walk away despondently

 

And as I tell you this

and your pity builds

and I feel your sadness

and the question burns within

and now it spills

and can’t hold it in

and you say ...

time is a healer.
