A Simple Goodbye
by John HarderOnce upon a time
I was happy
When we were near
Complexity hunts for me
in the dark of night
and light of day
Just as east and west
will never meet
Do not be troubled
oh my heart
Time will tell
and years will heal
the scars of long ago
They linger like a cough
when the flu has left
I waited
and still wait
Is there room for two
in the rest of your life?
I'll hold my breath
and wait for you
I'll turn pale
and then a dark blue
like the colour of my favourite shirt
before it faded from the wash
I miss that shirt

| Posted by Kate Donovan on 08/20/03 at 06:25 AM i love this, this is great. i really like a lot of your poetry, especially the ones where you abandon the rhyming. maybe just because i'm biased against rhyme. :o) anyway, excellent job here, i especially loved the last line. :o) |
