A Heartbreak Unhealed

a little boy crying
on his first day at school
faded echoes
from beyond the glass
a heartbreak unhealed
rushing up from our past

I left you there anyway
I left you there...anyway,

but you are not a boy
this place not a school
here... a resting place,
peaceful place 
silent and cool 

I leave you here anyway
I leave you here... again,

M P 7/3/22
