To frail and dainty

In this run down broken home

I reflect on the memories,

You were do frail and dainty

I remember you dancing and singing for me,

To old barely known records

Played on vinyl with the sound of crackles,

In the front of an open fire

I watched you perform like a bird on a wire,

I knew this could not last

Your beauty and grace would one day surpass,

All that this life could offer

And now it has come to pass,

So it’s no surprise that

You’re no longer here with me,

And I am left crying soft tears

In a deep state of misery,

To frail for this life

You’ve now left me bereaved,

And I couldn’t be so lonely

Nor could I be so sad at your release,

You sought a way to find your own peace

And that peace is in a place far from me,

I am haunted by you still

And those nights and memories,

Of how you danced and sang

In those moments you were never more happy,

But now that’s all they are now

Just replaying on loop, that constantly torture me,

I miss you my love and everything we used to be.

  1. Sometimes you have to love enough to let your partner go, their happiness being more important than your own. Incredibly hard, but sadly, sometimes it can happen. Nice poem.
