You Never Even Knew

July 2010 - for Tia Vonka (Veronika)


The sight of your smile,

the softness of your locks,

remain imprisoned in pictures,

engraved in their minds.

They bring you along

wherever they go;

with memories of life

and tales of love…

About how you fell

in the arms of a man

who stole all your youth

and caused you great pain.

What if you had kept

what was to be yours?

It came all too soon,

and was gone before noon.

I wish I could see

your smile and hers.

Identical joy

and shiny bright eyes.

But you left far too soon

and left nothing behind

but poetry rhymes

that I wish could be mine.

I hear how they whisper

about wanting to regain

the fresh little memories

of your laughs and your tears.

But here I am now:

missing you more,

missing you and the baby,

like never before.

You never could tell me,

(you never even knew)

that I’d dream of a world

with you in it too.
