The Long Coming Back (part 3)

I hope 
you will remember
all the Good
that we have shared 
Good 
that might not have happened
if 
none of us 
had dared
It might be painful 
for a time now
but I know that you will heal
and as this old ship 
is sinking 
low
hold tight against the keel
I hope 
that you can 
see the light you gave me
Still shining 
against the black
that is all 
that is left of me now
there is no
coming back
