"Cry"

In this falling darkness

In this shade of trees

In this place of refuge

I cry

I cry for his body

I cry for his mind

I cry for his dreams,

Shattered in time

I cry for his eyes

I cry for his heart

I cry for his angels

Who look from afar

I cry for his questions

I cry for his answers

I cry for his whispers

That wisp past my ear

I cry for his hands

I cry for his feet

I cry for his sword

Singing songs, bittersweet

I cry for his love

I cry for his hate

I cry for his sorrows

Thrust on by fate

I cry for his future

I cry for his past

I cry for his being

As thou has been, thou art

I cry for his memories

I cry for his loss

I cry for his has-beens

The winds tempest toss

I cry here because

Because I see

What was, what is, and what will be

But also because

Becuse I harbor

The could-have's, the should-have's

and the would-have been's

I cry because

Only I can see

The child you were

The man you could be

In these fading shadows

In these loving lights

In these spots we once shared

I cry

In the end

As it is and is not

I cry

For him

For you

Ever

Only

For you
