"Watch Me" Week

I watched as couples
walked hand in hand,
the laughter of togetherness
showing their tone of love.

My mind wants to feel
that the warmth of another
is waiting there, behind closed doors,
returning me to another time.

My heart wishes to feel the anticipation
that seeing your face brings,
allowing me to believe again,
if only for the moment shared.

I watched as children unrestrained,
filled the playground with happiness,
running here and there
greeting friends and playmates.

The adults smiling as they handed over
the care of their own to the rides
that brought screams of delight
and "watch me" words.

I followed in their footsteps,
remembering the rides I shared once,
the thrills I felt, when there with you.

I walked home alone,
the sounds becoming distant.
Quiet returning me to
the emptiness I feel each night,
wondering if
it will ever end.

Oh...I know this. He will come...I believe for me and for you. And you won't have to say, "watch me" for he won't take his eyes off you.

A great write! Know that you are not alone!

A lovely poem Maureen, as only you can write. It is bittersweet to walk alone,
when it seems that love is all around you.

Hugs girlfriend~

this aches Maureen

I know how you feel though, I go through the same...I try not to let it bother me

watching people can be fun but it can also be depressing in that it makes you see what you don't have, or had and lost
