I NEVER WROTE A POEM FOR YOU <br /> <br />I never wrote a poem for you <br />That you do not listen to for me- <br />And you never spoke in the distance a syllable <br />I did not overhear in my dreams- <br />We listened and loved in the deepest way <br />And this was the goodness of our life- <br />So when you withdrew and said goodbye <br />I did not know how not to hate myself <br />Until after time and more time and more time <br />I could grow distant and strive to survive without you.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-never-wrote-a-poem-for-you/
