Thoughts of a Lonely Woman
by Kristy Raines
“Give me flowers while I’m living
while I can still enjoy their fragrance
Laying them across a wooden box
is a wasted gesture on a soon forgotten day”
“Tell me you love me while I can still hear you
Those words can make a bad day better
Saying I wish I would have told her
gives no joy or comfort to deaf ears”
“Hold my hand while I can feel you
Many years has it been since you have
No one can thrive without human touch
I don’t even remember how it feels”
For many years, Like a spirit, he just looked right through her
as if he didn’t even see her in front of him
Perhaps she died inside long before she ever left this earth…
