PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a departure I can not understand

no explanation or naught

how strange and cold you leave me

at the height of such emotions

shared

where have you wondered off to

this time

leaving me at a loss

do you even care?

your bad habits are revealing

a not so gentleman like pattern

the benefit of my doubt is

growing short in its giving

abandonment feels like

an ugly house

I can not bring myself to live in

behind me a lovely peak

at my feet a shadowed uncertain valley

how narrow you make my lot

bespeaking once of so much care

yet for days you leave me hanging

perhaps again on yet another

prank

a test to see if yourself I shall miss

and if so then how much

only fools play such games with

gentle hearts that love them so much

and care not how their actions make

those hearts bleed

I won't contribute to such a ploy

anymore

my worry means little to you

your actions demonstrate that

again and yet again

how many times now have I asked

you not to do this

and here in this desolate place

I find myself alone

and empty handed

no word

no comment

no explanation

just four days of absolutely nothing

not even some small prior warning

to 'A Fact Of Absence' that was just about to come...............
