since you have been gone
the flowers don’t bloom
the same
the sun doesn’t feel as
warm against my skin
the melodies of our songs
no longer sound soothing
to my ears
at dusk I watch
the evening sunset alone
wishing you were here

ReplyDeleteA beautiful sad song! Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhen love leaves, if unexpected or an unwanted exit, it does seem as if the world shouldn't be continuing to move forward. You've expressed that sadness and loneliness well.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully melancholic, Arcadia! The wistful longing is palpable.
ReplyDeleteThat's Punam/Paeansunplugged!
