she
tried to hold on
her arms were tired
so she walked away
leaving baggage behind
he watched her walk
towards new sunrises
her heart now up for grabs
she searches for love she desires
he searches his soul to be a better man
her arms were tired
so she walked away
leaving baggage behind
he watched her walk
towards new sunrises
her heart now up for grabs
she searches for love she desires
he searches his soul to be a better man

ReplyDeleteYes! I agree with the others on this. Lessons learned.
If only some politicians could learn from their mistakes. :D
Thank you Debi and Jules
ReplyDelete"Her heart now up for grabs" your use of this line was very impactful!
ReplyDeleteQuadrillific! Couldn't be more on target or succinct, both literary qualities I value highly. Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteI think she will find what she's looking for before he does!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrityunjay, Ron and Ingrid
ReplyDeleteYet another sad ending. May she find what she searches for, and may he be the wiser next time.
ReplyDeleteI hope both of their searches are fruitful.

This is so poignant. There aren't many men in the world who mourn over what was or what could have been. Despite the tragic ending, I see hope. Maybe, just maybe they will find happiness by going their own separate ways. 💝💝
ReplyDeleteI like this. :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of story in a few lines, well done! /peace, Jason
ReplyDeleteYou captured the emotions so well in few words in this poem, especially in ‘her arms were tired’. It’s a good thing she left the baggage behind. I hope he became a better man.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.
