Leaving Ashley Down - Poem

I sit in front of the television

Staring into space

There’s a man talking about some decision

That he really couldn’t face

Upstairs room is bare, bags are packed

But you are not around

You’ve gone away because you lacked

Patience with the sound

of my voice.

Though you didn’t know I was leaving

You didn’t wait to find out

Can’t cope with senseless grieving

And the silence drove me out.

I walk out the door forever

My face dry and soul bare

Realising we’re not together

Knowing how our relationship fared

Middling to worst?

Or the sublime?

Especially when you became mine.

Memories flood me, tears run dry

And the thought of you...

Looking into my room...

Makes me hope that Time

Will heal

my Heart.

Again.
