Given another moment <br />to retreat those lies <br />would you again whisper <br />her name. <br />What secrets fade and wither <br />from a mournful heart, <br />where forever slips away <br />on a tide still as death. <br />Keeping maybes as treasures <br />you promise something more <br />while keeping her at bay, <br />while revealing nothing. <br />Some semblence of sorrow <br />slips from vodka tongues <br />loosened towards truth <br />where sober lies hide. <br />Tomorrow reveals another you <br />which is true, pure, <br />yet stained and tortured <br />by yesterdays tales. <br />I see this bitter revelation <br />that you try to hide <br />by holding her tightly, <br />by lingering in her life, <br />by keeping her with you. <br /> <br />28/3/08 <br /> <br />*your friends are here for you...be strong.<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-moment-2/
