Conrad

Darling, dear One, don't you know,
my heart, it bled and beat like yours?
but all too soon you took the fall
and I never knew what lay behind that smile.

There's empty words and worthless lies
they speak of you and of your life,
Oh, if they knew the sacrifice
and the treasure that lay behind your smile.

You knew what it was like to fight out on the battlefield
to see your soul be crushed
like a faithful son, you carried on,
until it was too much

My fellowman, my confidant,
was there something I could have done?
all that I had to give was what I had,
a guarded, broken heart.

We shuffle on, we find our way
through bitter truths and brighter days
And through it all, I'll think of you,
and the truth that lay beyond that tired smile.

To Conrad, Died October 19th, 2016. You will never be forgotten.
