Larry Bradfield Poet Sonnet

Broken Hearted In Monterey

Even before she left she was not here
Her blue eyes focused  somewhere far away
I try to smile as I hold back the tear
While I walk the dark streets of Monterey

She said she loved me in the warmth of Spring 
I did not think about the coming cold
Looking forward to what Summer would bring
Never worrying what Autumn might hold

Then Winter came and brought warmth to an end
With swift goodbyes she took her love one day
And ripped the fabric that will never mend
Left me to walk the streets of Monterey

It's cold here now and that's the price I pay
For crying in the streets of Monterey
