A lifetime ago you walked away
unannounced and sudden
the crack you left behind
deep, wide and raw
reemerged, reappeared, replayed
hope, faith and love
all tried again
restored but not forgotten or healed
years of smiles and cries
build up and conceal the void
still as raw and sore
as that day a life time ago
fear seeps through drip by drip
a constant reminder of goodbye
hope, faith and love
never enough to seal the holes
