A Sense Of Loss

Shame and scandal

Firing days of yore

Selfish ego

One knows the score

Fleeting memories

Of far distant times

Anguish and heartbreak

They were good friends of mine

Desolate

I withered

Knowing one of life's miracles

Was set aside

In the best interest of all

To this day I rue

The harsh realities

Of growing up

In times

Controlled by 

Deep seated fears

Where self induced 

Embarrassment 

Fuelled 

Limitations
