When I depart

She held the curtain to
her cheek not yet ready
for a tear
It would take alot to sadden
that face for she had never
known a fear
But I drove away just the same
with a regret or two of my own
She just didn't know how many
nights she'd be sobbing by the
phone
'What was that spirit he brought
she pondered on a tear stained
pillow..?'
'With him I felt alive again like
a bluejay singing to a weeping
willow..'
How does she count the days when
her silver pot no longer has it's shine?
She counts all as death in the terrible
truth she'd lost one of a kind

So poignant! Hope this is not taken from life experience. If yes, you shouldn't have stolen her heart like this, knowing well the suffering she would be subject to. In any case thank you for the poem nicely penned!sigh

Apparently she didn't appreciate what she had and never thought he would leave.

So sad for both.

Thank you sweet. I'm a one woman man make no
mistake. If I find a woman, ( if ), there is no
other woman in my mind or thoughts. She
becomes the queen of my every desire.
This poem is just fictional dear. Lol.

In love Cafe, there is loss and gain. In this story either one was meant to be, that's how I see it...
Nice write...SM

How did I miss this?

A very sad scene of one leaving while the other who is left behind is mourning.

Such is life, there are times when tears means happiness for the other. But it'll come to pass. And before we know it, love is alive all over again.

Great write Jim. wave

So glad to see you back. hug
