Forsaken

Neville

Forsaken

 

I swear they once moved like

cats

   and each was then golden ..

But

   only one of them purred ..

Oh’ my

very dearest and precious

   of loves ..

    Where are you now and why ..

I need you

far more than my chest needs

to rise

and to fall again with each

breath

   and the thrust of a new season

   without you

..

            But I am half human, half guinea pig. Thats's them in my pic. They're not giant hamsters or rats, as some say, or else we need to be afraid, be very afraid, of the mutations. lol.

                The one that got away, forever regreted, but ever present, bruised heart that aches with remembrance. This hauntingly beautiful poem is exquisite.
