Other Thing Lost

A melancholic poem about a romance which time has snuffed out.

I never thought you'd be some

other thing lost

I never thought we'd turn away

from each other

Let the night wonder

in between us 

I never thought there'd be

this distance

A deficit of romance

as absence 

takes it toll 

Time tracks your cold retreat

I never thought you'd be a

path I took 

One footnote in a history

book

That we'd both be sleeping

so lonely

I never thought you'd come

and go 

Never planned for that

tomorrow, no

I never thought you'd be

gone

Painful is the realisation

that true devotion 

is a little more than I 

can muster 

Couldn't dote on you

Couldn't do the things you asked me to

Goodbye my 

other thing lost

Great poem, we are never quite ready for things at times but it is what it is and part of the lessons of life, full of feeling, very nice🌹

No problem if you don’t we can’t review everyone’s poems but some stand out and you read them before others but I try my best to get to review some, time is so short these days and I don’t get much time either, but it doesn’t mean that I’m not interested in the poems, many thanks take care🌹
