And Still I Wonder

By brentsrich

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Tortured you left us And hid behind Mystery And forgetfulness To him you gave sadness Like ribbons Blue and purple Imprinted and implied To her you fed anger And truth Its teeth and shadow Of stone For me only empty Were the words You called love and Understanding And still I wonder While you breathed such pain Did you have to Exhale?
