Intent

Your words stand thick within my head.
Within my heart they sit and stare. The
are numb, deprived, and dead.
I remember those flattery lines once read,so falsely
written, so naive but believed.
Your hope was based upon me. A prayer sent out that
I would see a friend in you
and you in me.
"You know much you mean to me".
Well what is much and what is mean?
What you speak I will never see, and I do
not believe.
The picture so beautiful as you are, yet a
different aspect of how it used to
be and what it should be.
How I mourn and lament and grieve.
Not for the dead, but for one who doesn't
care for me.
Was this a mistake? I thought my feelings
were mannerly.
What was your intent supposed to be?
Life as it turns out will never allow
perfect harmony.
Your words within my heart, your picture
never another hung upon my wall; you
alone, so precious and dear will always be
loved by me with great sincerity.
