...A Favor Gone Wrong

Karyn Indursky

He walked
out of my life
into an endless
lifeless destiny
with heaven
as I suffer alone.
I mourn
the loss of love
from him
and endless possibilities
that will never be.
I mourn
for the hug
I waited
my whole life for
and won't ever get.
I mourn
for the conversations
we didn't finish.
I mourn
for the advise
I never sought.
I mourn
for what
he could've
made of himself.
I mourn
for his life
being thrown away.
I mourn
for the love
of my cousin
and he can't
even know or feel
what I do.
I mourn
for the aftermath...
of a favor gone wrong.

Author's Notes/Comments:
