Does Time

[NeverMore]

Does time ever truely erase
the pain
the sorrows
that go with the lives we leave behind

the dreams we left somewhere
long remembered
those people we cherished

now just a memory
thought of as rain
gently falls over the quiet mornings

to wonder if a smile
should creep accross our face
or just a small tear of regret

the thoughts no longer
tear at our souls
yet they simply gain a lasting ache

we remember the ones left behind
in our hurry to overlook
what we saw

i love this. it's perfect. the feeling. the questiong. the truth about it. that feeling never really goes away. time just dulls the pain down from a sharp stab to a constant aching.

Great write Joe, I can relate and it sounds good. When I first saw the title I thought it would be a poem about going to jail....lOl!

I too can relate to this piece. It's structure is very nice and I enjoyed it very much. I would give this one an A in Poetry Pieces......
