Gabby Girl

Visions of her precious face
Ethereal as wisps of smoke
Weaving in and out of consciousness
Roaming through my thoughts each day.

Inflicting bittersweet pain
Memories
I cling to them helplessly
Heart aching not to see her again
Before her sweetness dissipated into eternity
Freedom to drift away purchased with my desolation.

Memories
Traversing the gardens together
She turns her head as if to say
Hurry, hurry our time fast fleeting

Then gone
Stolen like the log where we once paused
Together to share the sun

I mourn not to see her one last time
Before she drifted away
Bittersweet love
Intangible
Now mired in depths of sadness
Mingled with the hidden tears…
