• poem ○

I look back at our old photographs

And I look at the way your eyes were shining

The way your hair was tousled

The way your arm hung around me.

And we used to run together so often

Into the flower-filled meadows

Hands linked and

So deeply in love.

The times in spring I would walk out of school

Just to see you waiting by the oak tree

And I would run into your arms

And we would go off, shyly glancing at the other occasionally.

And everything seemed so right

That one night we went to the carnival and

The soft rays of lights kissed our skin

The smell of caramel popcorn and sugary sweet candy in the air.

And when we went on the ferris wheel

You reached forward and told me I looked beautiful

And there were no need for words to close the gap between our lips

At that very moment.

But now those are just memories

And our love is a long forgotten storybook

That you threw away months ago

When you showed up at my door - eyes conflicted and pained.

And the words we lashed out at one another

They weren't the kindest things you'd hear

Full of hate and anger that

We'd never shared before.

And now my spring days

Instead of being greeted by your warm, smiling eyes

Are greeted with the crisp cold air of new beginning

But a lone one.

And it's many times that I

I sat by the windowsill half expecting your car

To appear in the driveway

But it remains empty, the gravel worn and old.

And sometimes I step out when it's raining outside

And the lightning flashes and the thunder sounds

Just to drown myself in the cold

To lose my tears amongst the droplets falling on my face.
