Far Away

dedicated to:

My Daughter Tamsen

A heart was broken,
A love was lost,
In a place…now far away,
Two souls…estranged,
The damaged, sustained,
Caused…by a foolish mistake –
Now there art only memories,
Of that place…now far away,
Way off now…in the distance,
Where memories but fade –
Yet an open wound still festers,
Beyond that place…now far away,
And cannot heal…on its own,
Two halves…yet not a whole –
Destined…e’er, to so remain,
For that place…so far away,
Can never be attained again,
Lost…to a faded memory…in the end.
