9.11.13

Posting this again in case I forgot to!

I wish it had been you

That had sped the plough

And sowed the seed

And harvested the soul 

Of my memories of you


But alas it is I

To lay my hand upon your furrowed brow 

And wash the aching loss of a grieving heart


It is the nurse and doctor and I and you and my brother, sister, father and lover …

that speeds the morphine,

that slows the heart,

to ease the pain of love torn apart


I wish it had been you 

But it is me it is you and you and you

That plants the ground,

Upon which love grows. 

I wish it had been you. 

I wish it had been you. 

I wish it had been you.
