Other Paths.
I was listening to a song on the radio and one of the lines caught my attention, and this stemmed from there.
Pain stalked the
remembering:
yet far more does the
knife wound the mind
in closing my door
to you.
What’s left is breathing
low, an attempt at non
existence.
You’re walking the ways
my heart cannot
travel.
Your direction is against
the winds, I can follow
no longer.
But still you call
to me….
And follow
I must.

I loved this bitter/sweet poem Sue. Poignant has been used a couple of times, I know, but it is. Do they still give nibs? This deserves one..
I’m so sorry for such a late reply I didn’t spot your comment until just now. Thank you your words are very much appreciated. Sue xx
I’ve read five poems now, and I feel better all of a sudden. Thanks for the lift.
I’m so sorry Ross I have only just spotted your very kind comment, thank you so much. Sue xx
