Lamentation by a Graveside

 So many words, I left unsaid,
I closed my mind and sulked instead;
And when at last, I breathed each word,
My voice just waned on air, unheard.

So many tears, my eyes withheld,
The anguish, clothed with will not felled;
And when I freed the pains untold,
They drenched your grave ,so numb and cold.

So many faces,sight has skipped,
With it, the chance to see you slipped;
And when I searched for you around,
Alas, you're nowhere to be found.

Now, though beside your grave I weep,
Releasing all the grief I keep;
I languish mournfully in vain,
Because in silence, you remain.

I should have deeply loved you so,
When you were here to feel and know;
I should have fondled or caressed,
While time,from flight was still at rest.
