And Finally Poem by Gabriel SimpsonLaw
And Finally
Strange yet, how we dangle from the slightest shred of hope
Those flimsy gossamer wisps that could not possibly support us
We who love yet are not loved by return
We whose sense deserts us
‘Twas ever thus as I remember, ever thus as I recall
Never trust in something so slender as forlorn hope or surely fall
And landing hard across dark valleys
Learn nothing of your ways at all
Those of you that think you aid us by leaving us by small degrees
Throwing ever smaller punches, occasional soft words as these
“I still love you” “maybe” “someday”
Then disappear into the trees

This would work really well as a song, I reckon... Remember & slender are very clever rhymes, and the whole mood of the poem, while sad, is very beautiful =]
