My Friend My Pen

My Friend My Pen. Moments ago my world has gone grey my lover who for years has governed my entire creation is walking away. My energy failed me i felt cold when my dark mind went astray I could not understand why? why I had to judge him hold a grudge against him his reasons should be justified hopefully one day. Staying home alone could not calm my storm Wanting to talk and share my pain I searched for Someone but it was all in vain nobody was free Friends were passive and non receptive. My persistence pushed me to climb up my favorite tree And find my old friend my pen which cannot talk or walk But knows whats in my soul will search to find a way to give Me hope to accept & cope that my lover was walking away And my world was turning grey. My Pen And I worked as a team for years forces me to dream Lifts me up high when I start to sigh encourages me Not to frown but to smile and comply to forget that my world Turned grey because i was about to be given away as a prey Due to my lover walking away. My Pen Stood by me when my days got cold & nights were dead as i refused to be fed i did not want to hear or fear that i should be ready to obey that my lover was walking Away. My Pen My friend convinced me to stay as a mistress and begged me nothing should come to an end please defend his fate and admit to submit your love to him before he goes away as maybe someday he'll come back on any other day. Leaving my friend My Pen hanging alone on the tree I felt an uncontrollable urge to run be free to hold his Picture take a glance just a glance but in seconds tears Started dripping out of it. I sat on my rocking chair Staring through the night carrying my pain in my heart. I needed to stay speechless not even a wink of hope Having no right at the moment to end it here i knew what i had to be doing I needed to remain his hero even helpless i will love my lover remembering years ago when our path crossed each other we froze stunned locked our eyes and uttered the unspoken It was love at first sight. My Pen woke me up one day to open my mail I found a note from My lover unexpectedly my breathing stopped the excitement to search through his soul gave me the reason to jump and read. Open the door I am outside. Terry

Wow, the intensity of the love in this poem and the inner conflict. Yet the poet writes "to let him comeback like nothing ever happened" at the end. Well hopefully the grey will go away. If not you still have our best friend the pen.
