REST IN PEACE
It has been over a year
And still I stand at your grave
Even now I hear the wolves
Chasing away the past
It seems everyone I have ever loved
Has left me abandoned within my storm
If only you could hear my voice from beyond
Would you take me home with you?
The whiskey chases the ghosts
To linger outside the door
I keep the hearth cold for you
To find your way back here
It seems every time I place roses
I can’t help but to drown them in tears
There is no way that I can ever move on
From your arms that kept me safe
I still set the table for you
And toast to your memory
Can you ever forgive me
For not letting you rest in peace?
Your empty seat growing cold
And frost winters the fire
Can you ever forgive me
For not letting you rest in peace?
It seems every time I place roses
I can’t help but to drown them in tears
There is no way that I can ever move on
From your arms that kept me safe
It seems everyone I have ever loved
Has left me abandoned within my storm
If only you could hear my voice from beyond
Would you take me home with you?

Lord Hades...our mom most certainly forgives you...although you reach out for her often, this doesn't disturb her peace, it only continues to blanket her with love...& remember, until the time when you two meet again, you are already home, for it's where the heart is & she is always within yours...
much love to you as I extend arms for the tightest of hugs for you my dear friend
xoxo Sweet Sacrifice

oh my Dark Lord this poem broke my heart
forgive my negligence it's unforgivable
your mom is with you & loves you..
I weep that I contributed to making you feel abadoned
please forgive me..
I love you..

Thank you, dear Crim. These holidays were a struggle for me. But I never felt you abandoned me. I'm trying to come out of my self exile. I know she loves me but that makes it hurt all the worse.

may your tears reach her ears
& your ache be relieved
with the knowledge she still walks
silently by your side..
achingly beautiful write..
love Raven
