Farewell

Just some random thoughts that drifted in my mind.

Soft thumbs,

Whispers of the mind.

The airy, throaty kind of speeches,

They all drift by like ghosts.

Sidelong glances,

Grim lines on my lips;

The heart frets,

As streams of old thoughts flashes by.

Silver tears,

Stifled cries;

Squint and brushed away,

My mistake, just leave it be.

Rueful grins,

Half-hearted farewells;

A faint smile across his face,

Too late - he shan't be back.

How do you find this piece of work? It was just some thoughts. I admit, my heart ached when I did this.

I think this speaks to a lot of people in situations where they have high expectations from someone or something and it all comes to nothing - like a child losing a parent in divorce' thinking it's their fault and hoping they'd get back together but they never do....really good poem Malady!

[TheMalady]

Very true, Carolynn. I made this to represent a lot of situations, a sad ending with only soft gestures as their farewell.

Thanks a lot for reading! I was a bit down when I wrote this. Haha, Thanks a lot for the review! It means a lot for me! Thanks! :)
