Ty e Long Goodbyes

A prompt from a community I moderate of 39,000+ #poets on Google Plus.


The Lone Wanderer


I still miss her

Deep inside


Below

The facade

Bravado and jest


Deeper still

It's my unswallowable

Pill


The last time

I saw her

Was eight


At the

Piccadilly station


She seemed so

Happy

Carefree and full

Of smiles


That was

Ten years ago

Before she

Lost her patience


A sad indicator

Of how life changes and

Relentlessly flows


And the inner

Turmoil

That inevitably

Grows


She's gone now

To newer

Places


Met a new guy down

At York races


Me

I'm still living

In a world

Of Long Goodbyes


A reverie of endless

Sonnets

From

Ever-growing souls


Who beseech and cry
