Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'walked Away'

When he walked away 
He yearned for you to call him back 
Even though it would not be what it use to be
He hoped; he had that believe that you could try again 

That "call back" never came 
Just like that morning 
As with every morning thereafter
He wondered should he have turned back 

Just get a last glimpse of your smile 
A smile that said you believed in us 
Instead all he got was a bewildered face 
A stare that had so many "what ifs"

Kelly Deschler April 9, 2015 at 1:13 AM I can definitely relate to this, everyone can I think. It is so hard to walk away not knowing what might happen next... These lines are very emotive and I feel them deep in my heart, Wilma. Great writing!

Michael Dom April 7, 2015 at 3:23 PM Yes, all the what-if's in life come crawling into your mind like cockroaches, feelers probing the air...
