with a tear in my eye
in my soul a sigh
i hold you close
shutting out my sorrows
as i watch you go
with your bags in tow
for some time away
while i will stay
counting the hours
‘til the time’s again ours
in my soul a sigh
i hold you close
shutting out my sorrows
as i watch you go
with your bags in tow
for some time away
while i will stay
counting the hours
‘til the time’s again ours
…with a tear in my eye
i wave you goodbye
i wave you goodbye

Ahhh, sorry. That's where I have been testing HTML coding. I should just end it. Can't seem to find a template I truly like. Your poetry is very captivating. I also am overseer of a writing prompt called Three Word Wednesday. You should check it out. I think you'd like it.

Parting is such sweet sorrow,
ReplyDeletewhich lasts 'til we meet on the morrow.
With apologies to whoever it was that said "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Willy, I think.

ReplyDelete“So hold her closer when she cries, hold her closer when she feels. She needs a hand to hold, someone who will never let her go again. And hold him closer when he tries to hold the tears back from his eyes. Don't say goodbye.” ~Song: Hold Her Closer
