Gone!

So close we were;

We used to be

That I thought you may have been

The one for me

But now you’ve left

And I remain in the afterglow of your

Company

And I am dead and left to rot

Like a branch torn from it’s motherly

Tree

Gone!

A whisper of wind

A trickle of water

A whisper of sounds

To chase after

A falling fledgling

Descends from the nest

Its wings flap uselessly

Soon it will rest

Along with my thoughts

And my fantasies and loves

Dead and rotting up on the ground

Where soon they will never be need or want to be found

Many a time when the stars had come out

And the sun had fled to the moon

I’d listen and care and talk and comfort

And now I wonder what has it wrought?

I served you it seems but then the time came

Where others served your needs better

And now I realise I was part of a game

And for a selfish reason you left me in a gutter

Gone!

So close we were;

We used to be

That I thought you may have been

The one for me

But now you’ve left

And I remain in the afterglow of your

Company

And I am dead and left to rot

Like a branch torn from it’s motherly

Tree
