Avery Won Poet Ballad

Why Did She Go

He missed her so
Why did she go?

She thought about him night and day
For it had been a million years
At least it felt that way in tears
But still she loved him anyway

For it had been a million years
Since they first met that Saturday
Upon the garden entranceway
At least it felt that way in tears

He missed her so
For it had been a million years
Since he had seen her slip away
At least it felt that way in tears
Why did she go?

Why did she go?
He missed her so

Greg Hladky January 31, 2022 at 4:12 PM Congratulations on your win! Your poem reminds me of Richard Dreyfus in the movie Always, a romantic fantasy, longing for someone from the other side of the grave. But in your poem she missed him, after she "slipped away." Avery Won January 31, 2022 at 4:42 PM Thank you Greg - unfamiliar with the reference so I'll have to look it up :)
