Last Embrace Poem by Barry Middleton

Last Embrace

Rating: 4.0


I cannot say goodbye to you
our time together was too brief
I can't restore our yesterday
for death is but a heartless thief

but I am still the man you loved
a memory I hope you keep
I step into eternity
no last goodbye to make you weep

I never could outrun my grief
I never shed my foolish pride
I often fell and often failed
but do not think I never tried

I came to earth in bitter times
I leave this world about the same
to put my pride and tears aside
I do not know who is to blame

I turn away without farewell
I wish for you your share of grace
and peace until we meet again
for this must be our last embrace

An apologise better than this one could not imagine.An apologise for life's unwished paths we took or it happed to be laid to us by uncontrolled circumstances!
