Cece Garrison - Bad Things Happen To Good People
It’s really a shame that bad things happen to good people, <br />but they do. <br />It’s all too common that triumphs in life are overshadowed by losses: <br />of innocence, of freedom, of drive, of purpose. <br />Who survives intact, without ere a backward glance? <br />While we move steadily forward <br />into surface talks, that reveal nothing; <br />painful truths must be faced or else. <br />Else all that is good, all that is fine, <br />all that is yours, all that is mine <br />slowly fades away. <br />It fades into an abyss of unspoken words, <br />Silent laments for that which we lost, <br />When those bad things happened to good people.<br /><br />Cece Garrison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bad-things-happen-to-good-people/
