I sit besides the waters edge,
For thoughts and reasons, my mind I dredge,
The winter wind blows hard and chill,
But here I sit and wonder still.

No answers to my questions why,
Despite how many times I try,
Each one I find has many flaws,
But to no avail, the choice was yours.

The things you said I will not say,
Our time together now cast away,
Yes it’s true, things moved so fast,
But did that mean it couldn’t last?

New friends I made, please say goodbye,
As now it seems it’s time to fly,
There is so much I need to say,
But I’ll take that pain and fuel my day.

The scent of smoky factory plumes,
As deep inside my anger fumes,
The lighthouse catches the winter sun,
To try and stop me feeling glum.

So now it’s time to start anew,
Of times like these, I’ve had a few,
And that is why I’ve penned this verse,
To stop my mood from getting worse.
