That Hallowed Ground
It’s funny how significance
 Is applied so subjectively
 One spot may be meaningless to one
 But a hallowed ground to any
 
 Upon this old stump I sit 
 And think back to  weeks before
 When you led me to love’s resting place
 A time I call Fin D’Amour
 
 When evening fell on this little town
 Seemingly a thousand years ago
 And you ended what had barely begun
 With one final, bludgeoning blow
 
 There is no need whatsoever 
 To dwell on what we had
 For while you ended it with slight apprehension
 You did not seem the least bit sad. 
 
 Fooled and thrice defied by love that had me from hello
 A slowly fading summer that would never see the snow.
 
 The little boy upon his bicycle was here again tonight
 He looked me in the eye and grimaced at the mournful sight
 
 For he had overseen when  “youandI” began
 He likely saw us laughing, and walking hand in hand
 
 And he was there the night our love could simply not revive
 Upon that hallowed ground that only in my memories will
 Survive.
