Our Odyssey

Roger Byrd 1985 (Chattanooga, TN)



It becomes & I’m invisible, numb but cynical is her beautiful. I must not weep for she & seem to be deceit, for we can’t sleep this dream if it isn’t meant to be. I’m her stranger a mood of dark & anger, misunderstood in disclaimer is the pain left astray in the chamber of her heart. In eye & I see her life, a line of poetic design. A novel of daunting fear, awful in such a haunting atmosphere. In question on if this misery really remembers we, this depression is weary of you & me. Forsake & I’m afraid I’m just a mistake, that my fate has broken to break in emotion I couldn’t fake. That you’d give yourself to I to take, but I shouldn’t because I feel I’m what you hate. To thee I owe this apology, with honesty that I’ve promised she. Your a prodigy of my hearts anthology, I was blessed that you acknowledged me. This was our odyssey, & I solemnly swear I will forever cherish & care until I perish from this nightmare.
