when does time
wipe this sleight clean
make recalling
the memories
I've shared with you
moment which don't tear
this heart apart
cause tears
to cascade down
uncontrollably
I plead with time
to make recalling
lessons you've taught
a feet unburdened by pain
and the misery
of contending
that you no longer reside
on this plain same as I
I plead with the heavens
to dry these tears
which fall
at the thought
of yearning to hear your voice
time is said to heal
all wounds
I plead with it
to heal this heart
which still breaks
missing you day after day
