Separation.

The buses are in the depot,
the trains are in the yard,
subs hang still in waters deep,
I lie awake - the worlds asleep.

I ponder over things you've said,
muttering thrice my own replies,
my chest is tight - I can't breathe,
I haven't done since you took your leave.

In my head I know you're lost forever,
my heart doesn't recognise this truth,
I clutch my pillow, it is no substitute,
for the scent and warmth that seep from you.

You sobbed a lot the day you left,
my pride, it would not let me beg,
I could not cry for feeling numb,
learning love just does not, overcome.

My heart is splintered in tiny shards,
like a mirror cracked in lusty rage,
I'm empty, wrung out - my tears all dry,
you smirk and wave as you drive right by.

Solitude is welcomed, as my heart repairs,
I start out once more on the playing field,
Celebrating life with my dearest friends,
I'm finally thankful we came to an end.
