Gone

Gone Melting away in the past What was once…upon a time lost Tears form thoughts, thoughts bring tears Black and white fairy tales, no happy endings What could have been Your smile etched Pain driven vacancy Wondering answers mount It was me…all me, I should have known Missing your voice…words Dancing alone eternal Sawdust severed emotions caught in my own steps Tango’s lonely escape waving goodbye to shadows Fractured piano keys tuned to vacuous notes played no more Off key movements in metronome whispered empty tempos This heart shattered My own doing The end has come Blowing kisses on the wind Finality penned in soon forgotten ink Too many sorrys from these lips Eternal frowns curving down end of days Nothing lasts forever Gone, you… me

Thank you so very much Maria. I am happy you think so and enjoyed this one. I was not really sad when I wrote it but I have been before and remember that feeling well.

This is full of such sadness of possible turmoil between 2 and then loss, but portrays strong acceptance of truth also. Well done :)

"Nothing lasts forever" That pretty much says it all when it comes to love. The poem reads a little sad but accepting fate in the end. Perfectly crafted, Chris:)

Thanks so very much Connie. It does feel good at times to get these things out but this is really just a poem, not a state of mind...at least not at this time. :)
