City of the Heart

~~~For Hal~~~ You abadoned me for another. Oh, pain,the heart's most unfriendly love dagger! Like a fool, I stood in the freezing,cold Chicago, loveless rain. Staring like a love waif, up at the warm, amber lights of your apartment's window panes. Wishing it was me in your love lair! Caressing your curly hair, oh..... The cold raindrops danced with my warm tears. Such a terribly sad waltz of hopeless vacuousness, for you, my dear. August 30, 2019

Nette, , I beg to differ. My poem is a testament to that. I lived in Chicago most of my life...that was no fictional event. And it was a loveless night. Hal and I remained friends, then lovers again. Then we each went our own ways. Funny, tho,,we both ended up in CA as friends.he added much to my life... TY for being gracious enough to comment, Panagiota
