Gone Poem by Kevin Deckert

I know her for 10 years now
But do not know her though
I think that she is wonderful
A person of real inner beauty
But I do not really know her
I tried some time to get inside
Inside her head, maybe inside her heart
But she didn’t allow it to me
I don’t know if she does to anybody

After those 10 years now
Full of attempts and anxiety
I got at last the courage
To make another step, get closer

But now she’s gone, not forever
But one whole, long year
Which is enough to make me sad
Gone in the moment of my happiness
Gone in the moment of my hope
To get, at last, to know her

It’s such a mystery to me
‘Cause I, I do not love her
Not anymore, I used to
But now, I just wanna get to know
The girl of such a mystery,
It seems I can’t describe

She appears so wonderful
So silent, but profound
So inapproachable,
but worth trying it anyway
But most of all, it appears to me
That she is gone……..
