Gone Away
Brett Mentzer 1952 (Toledo, OH)
Gone Away
I long for the day
When your name
Relaxes the moment
--a reflective smile
And does not tug
At the heart-knot
Of loss and longing.
About this poem
I wrote this many years ago when I lost someone special. The poem is self-explanatory. (I sent this a few days ago without any contact info!)
