 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

All I failed to keep




As daybreak pulls back the shadows of darkness
all is revealed in the bright light of day
where emptiness alone fills the wilderness I live in
and belief means nothing to all that remains.

Hollow figures walk by and move all around me
yet each time I reach out they all fade from view
I used to scream out asking why they don't see me…
but now I just wonder of all I might do?

When the winter winds blow I search for a shelter
there is no love to warm me when the cold wind bites deep
just the beat of my heart to help me remember
all that I loved most and I failed to keep.
