A Ride Alone

The view on the drive has lost its meaning... The tree's look the same but the air has no feeling... What was once a yellow brick road is now dark and grey... My mind see's things differently, even if bright sun is the day... The pathway to fantasy is tainted and has faded far away... The castle is empty and the princess has disappeared... This ride was predicted and the loss was all too feared... Little pieces of my heart now trail and dissolve on the ride... The memory has faded but still some days, what I miss I can't hide... Once again on a past relationship....

Oh Michael. A poignant write. I love the lines "The castle is empty..." and "This ride was predicted..." Yes. Even when we can see it coming, we can't help but take the ride. Very good, my friend. I hope all is well. Love, Deb

This is very nice, Michael. I can completely relate, you do an excellent job of showing how much things can change when a relationship ends. Great work :)

Challenges in relationships can impact the way we look at things, Michael. I'm glad this is based on a "past relationship" and not a present state of mind. Many will relate to the feelings you describe. Very nice metaphoric value in this poem! Love, Carolyn

You know what Michael, when we can think back on them without feeling hate it was worth the trials and focus on the love we had.. Great memories with a deep meaning.. I enjoy your introspective writes Mr. R - Love W
