A poem by Nicole Monteforte

Do you wonder what I’m doing

Do you think of where I am,

Do you cry at my absence

Do you remember how it began.

Does your heart hurt often

Does your soul miss me near,

Does you body want to feel me close

Does the pain ever feel severe.

Is it all what you had thought it was

Is it all that you desired,

Is it worth the decision that you made

Is it worth what has transpired.

Life is sometimes so unfair

Life is tough at times,

Life can amazing

Life can be sublime.

Time is said to heal all wounds

Time is said to pass,

Time is all I have right now

Time is like a glass.

A glass can be broken

A glass can be clear,

A glass can be so fragile

A glass can cause some fear.

The past is not the future

The past is not the now,

The past is for the lesson

The past can show you how.

How to move ahead in life

How to grow and change,

How to let go of what you dreamt

How to rearrange.
