Gone But Never Forgotten Poem by Grace Burke

The darkness of the night creeps into my soul
The pain of loss is amplified by its intensity
Where did I go wrong, what did I do wrong
To not know makes the loss that much greater.

Rays of sunshine and friendship had wrapped me in comfort
Then the door to happiness closed with a resounding force
There I stood, alone, unsure of what had just happened
I tried the door but it remained tightly closed.

How can I fix what I don't know is broken
How can I again gain the friendship I crave
If I know not what I did, how can I correct it
Questions, questions, but no answers anywhere.

I guess friendship is not for me to have
I need to return to my own little world of reality
A place of tears, a place of pain, a place of loneliness
A place where I know I belong, A place called home.
