When Love Was Tender Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

When Love Was Tender

No one remembers importance what you became the residues,

time was a miracles
hanging from the trees, when hope was taken,
You among others were misrepresented,

Reasons remaing from the flowers,
Reasons remaining to life and keep resolving,
Reasons for life stains that included your inavailability,

Eternities passage still uncertain, remembered those faces, remnantslost forever, why it's hard to accept,

Why everything past still hounds dying synonomous as life,

Why attachments is this important,
death this same process,
of never burying the past,

The dead should have had their peace with God,
but you, like the lines on your palms,

Traces on the grasses, flowers on the wet lawn, when love was tender.
