My poem tumbles down the page
A storm of thoughts
a restless cage
. . .
My mind so clear
Yet you’re a brainstorm away
Lost in the echoes of words we couldn’t say

Our love has captured decades
All I asked is it time to turn a page
As time slipped by
I sit in wonder
You abandoned our life as dreams have spun  
Leaving us stranded when we could’ve begun

Standing still the world moves fast
The past
a shadow that couldn’t last  
Now all that’s left is quiet as you refrain
A love once alive words never the same
