Poem Time

I started this poem at 12:43:

You're standing there, in front of me.
I could not believe, and I could not see.
Your mouth is moving but I cannot hear,
I don't understand because it must be something I fear.
Is this the end of my road?

Back to the beginning, my mind's a blur.
It's all a haze, but I could not deter.
I had to find the answers I needed.
But as I look back, I know I'm defeated.
The past is why I fall.

No answers received, only lies I got.
It turned me loose, into something I'm not.
I had to continue, I could not stop.
Out of my rage, I made the dead man drop.
How did it go that far?

Back to now, and there you are.
The time was long and the trip was far.
With arms wide open and with a single tear,
You continued to speak and your words became clear.
You are forgiving me.
