I will suffer this memory
Through countless,
sleepless,
endless nights.
Goodbye
hanging in every silence.
.
And me
Clinging on bravely
With my yearning fingertips
Seeking solace
In any smile.
.
And you
Your eyes
full of parting
And your lips
already bruised
with another man’s kiss
.
.

Change “man’s” to “woman’s” in the last line and this poem quite painfully sums up my day. Poignantly perfect at the most imperfect time.

At least you are able to express yourself with more than curse words. 🙂 I think I will keep my feelings bottled up for a while longer.

This is heartbreakingly beautiful. Both in the physicality of poetry construction and the heavy laden emotional truth in the words you write. Its palpable and cradles a lifetime story within a few exquisite lines of your prose.

Today seems the perfect day for a poem about parting. I posted this just over a year ago. When lovers part the pain is never shared out equally.
I didn’t replace the dodgy sound recording – listening to it again today was one of the few things that has made me smile.
