    hum

    i heard you speak my name, it dissolved like smoke into the sky

    there are things I never told you, like how I saw you die

    and how i saw you put back together, with hands not mine

    and there you stood much taller, not with my words, his mind


    and i am fine
    and i am fine


    i am here to stand alone, in a completely new direction

    i no longer need a hand to hold, no longer need affection

    alone i will walk, stripped of the past, this is my lesson

    moving forward, not looking back, i've only one confession


    that nothing lasts
    that nothing lasts


    i alone am the sea to become
    tides to breath
    death to hum

    and i am fine
    that nothing lasts

    I like the imagery in the last 5 lines. Some of your best work so far....

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
