These ones I love
The Anniversary
Hide the sorrow and the shame-
Next day's loss is this day's gain.
None will see the tears inside-
Oozing, with no place to dry.
Fear and anger share a spot-
Bitterness has left its rot.
Dark invasion of the soul
Burns a deep and ugly hole.
God seems distant, where is He?
Gone are friends and empathy.
There were those who walked with you-
Now that place is empty, too.
Deeds of yesteryear don't fly-
Evil forms a root inside.
Thorns implanted hundreds deep
Make the tortured spirit weep.
There are none to cry with you-
None who see the day's not through.
Twelve years hence won't go away-
Twelve years hence-your yesterday.
