Unraveling
Rhyme
The
rhyming and the not,
as
if I had forgot,
the
words of many years,
embedded
in my tears.
Days
of youth have passed.
The
die has long been cast.
Pieces
of my life
still
wading through the strife.
The
time has come and gone.
I
waited far too long.
My
words have all gone stale,
now
lost beyond the pale.
The
fire that once burned,
has
long ago been spurned.
My
passions all I gave,
lie
cold beyond the grave.
