This Thing -
This Feeling -
That she gave to me,
Or I took …
What do I want with it
Now?

She looked at me
As I said it,
Moist eyes filling with
Hurt shock.

(I couldn’t see through the cold rain
As she turned on her heel
And walked from me.
I don’t know if burning tears
Spilled from her eyes
As she click-clacked on the pavement
Out of my life.)

Dark night,
Empty heart,
Watching Broken Heart.
She stops,
Stunned by her loss -
Returning
To plead again.
Stopping at a distance -

As I turned,
And moved
Into the darkness.

Did she cry as she stood there,
Watching me walk
Out of her life
Forever?

I agree with Sharyn it takes courage to say goodbye, it takes time to forget, it takes changing our thoughts to live again....

very nice poem

Thank-you everyone. Some things stay with you forever, though perspectives change with time.

I don't know if it's about shame, or regret, or simple wistfulness. But it's there.
