Twice Forgotten

I was a victim
of my depression
I prayed to God to carry me
across my sea of guilt

But his ears were sheltered
from my call
and his eyes unsearching
And his almighty arms to weak
to hold my burden

But i waited here for you,
and never moved
for you cannot be forgotten twice
I waited until i was confined
to the smell of lilies above me

Buried under by my broken souls
bleeding hands
i thought you would come
and rescue me

but all i remember is open sky
and an autumn tree
beating its branches to the
rythm of my dying memory

Now i am the wind
that causes hurricanes
The sun causing drought
I am the winter
freezing the hearts of your children

Just so i can see you on your knees
praying for a miracle
to help someone as desperate as i
But all i saw was the ignorant smile that turned away
hope and left us in misery

We have been forgotten
to many times

And now we no longer
need you

Since you haven't posted in so long, I doubt you'll see this, but I ran across your poem while browsing through older posts. I think it's just great--so honest and so heartfelt. Hope you'll post again.

Morpheus
Sometimes, the ones we want to love, don't realize that we are hurting. It is good that you are writing your feelings down.

Please take care of yourself. Learn to stand upon the highest hill, and smell the fragrance from those lily's. They do not cover your soul, but enhance your tomorrow's....
