Listen to this poem using the player above.
She leaves, and takes everything with her
So this is what she had felt,
all those years ago.
He hadn’t realized,
hadn’t been able to accept how it hurt
to lose the center of the world.
Now he stood on the pier,
watched her sail away,
felt his soul sink beneath the waves,
to drown in an ocean of tears,
like the poets write about.
poets schmoets. they’re always in pain for no reason. ahem. cough. cough. sputter. sputter.
