Too Long In the Tooth

Looking back
at what the future
might hold
for us both, I note
there was
something wrong
after all,
wasn’t there  ..
I could feel it in
the tone of your
broken voice ..
So pray tell, how
are you here now ..
Since I was told
you died long ago ..
Some time
after we parted,
but before
we had said all our
final goodbyes ..
And although we
each have the same
journey to take,
then let this be my
solemn
and eternal truth ..
While I am
so very desperate
for a closure babe ..
I am now,
too long in the tooth ..
