12:59 a.m.

- 

and there is this space 

in my heart that lies agape.

a puzzle missing a piece

that now remains incomplete.

that forlorn, grieving chasm

that aches with every spasm 

when it beats against my will,

reminds me of what I've lost.

everything surrounding me

filled with bits and pieces of peace

now bring me nothing but 

this gut-wrenching pain.

my hesitation had a cost

and i know what I've now lost;

now I know what I once had.

and yet, it makes little difference.

i cannot change fate

nor make time change its ways.

the fool that I am, possessed a jewel

whose value i could not appraise.

this precious, precious jewel

was left in the hands of fools.

yet, it shone like none other;

yet, it was cast into the dirt.

now, this jewel sits

in heaven's crown, where it fits–

finally in the hands of one

who can truly appreciate it.

and we are left behind, with bittersweet memories.

and we are left behind, with former belongings.

and we are left behind, with silent mourning.
