She Is Not There

 


She is not there
it will be a long and lonely night
looking within-
pain heartache
loneliness,
and tomorrow?
What of tomorrow…
and the next day
and the next…
how long will I endure?
I see now why flowers wilt
leaves fall and crumble
things die.
Do I want a bright tomorrow
without her?
Not today.
I’ll take the heartache.
I will die…
wilt, crumble.
If she finds me,
will she pick me up?
resurrect my life?
is she gone?

    Boo!

    (Since all the other comments here seemed to be sad or whatever, I'll set a different mood! )

    And, just in case your last stock is running out:


    ...and I think that should do for a little while, at least!

    Thanks, Wanda, nice to see the 'blue' got through in the poem! Yes, there was a happy ending... now why didn't my muse do something with that?!!! like Part II She Arrived! (and to think this was only my AP daughter!)

    Yes, it was autobiographical... I was waiting, if only to chat with my AP daughter, SwtAsWine, and I sensed the sadness and uncertainty even that kind of love begets; but I arrived early, she arrived on time... so for me the sadness was quickly over. My muse caught the importance of the moment, however, that sadness and uncertainy, and that is what you see here... genuine.

    This is a beautiful poem, if it is autobiografical or not! Sometimes I wished I didn't know that you are such a player... I am sure I would appreciate your great works of art much better. Now I am always wondering if you are serious or joking. I think the last.... pity. Anna.
