PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Bitter days, dark and cold

Spark the fire, hard to hold

When you said all those words,

I somehow must have misheard

“Going away?” I simply ask

His reply, “Yes, staying seems to just be another task”



“Stay with me tonight,” she begged

“I can’t June, this isn’t right” he said knowing his words were digging a deeper grave

“Well then, just leave me already!” she screamed,

“I should have known then you would be this cold and mean.”



Jimmy went to pack his bags,

Moments later he was gone

June was left there alone,

To pick up the pieces and move on



Weeks later, there was a call

And a message on the answering machine

June wondered if she should listen

Would Jimmy apologize for leaving?



When he called again, she just let it ring

And listen to him plead on the other end

He could not stay, now she wants nothing to do with him

She wants to say goodbye, he wants to start all over again
