Through the Gray

I see you lurking in my dreams

Stuck between, neither here nor there

What is it you need?

What question should I heed?

What do I say to send you on your way?

You seem so sad, even a bit mad.

Behind grey fog, no, maybe even smog

Broken, of course, you could not stay

You did not need to go

I forgive you, you know

For all the reasons you thought were good

For actions beyond your iron control

For the hurts and pain

And your total distain

Because you are not who once you were

Go! Peace be with you

You’ve earned the right to respect this life

And if by chance our souls should meet once more

I’ll love you still

I always will
