Brian
every year
ive watched and waited
with fingers crossed
and breath bated
hopes were crushed
though dreams were near
and through the years
id learned to fear
the dread that filled
each day with sorrow
as each long night
became its own tomorrow
but this once
i thought id see
without everlasting
numb uncertainty
my wish granted
as was my right
from too many years
under your lights
your words are kind
but your actions severe
even happiness learns
how to shed its tears
you came so close
but you wouldn’t allow
my dreams to come true
just for right now.
