Goodbyes



There was no parting wave,
Not a hug less a look back,
There came no goodbye,
Nor farewell party nor a sign,
Stranded I stood at the crossroad,
Crowded out by the light,
Waiting for your hand to snatch me away,
To lead me away with you,
To just look back for once,
No smile, no tears, just a silence,
A gaping pit slit open- but not bleeding,
A scar to show but no wounds,
You were there a second ago,
But now you are gone with the wind.

  3. This somehow reminded me of a scene from 'Life of Pi' where the tiger just goes off into the forest without looking back even once.

    1. That's a very strong connection Brendan. I hadn't imagined it that way :)
