Poem #7 [for 07/01/10, posted on the 10/01/10]:
A Dream to Live For
The excuse spills from her mouth,
Apparently cruel to be kind,
He stands there staring South,
Ignoring her as the flashback unwinds.
Sitting there at the top of the hill,
Watching the sunrise, or was it sunset?
Like a scene from a movie reel,
A silhouette as their eyes, then lips met.
Sitting side by side in the cinema,
Watching the romance unfold,
His arm around her shoulders,
Keeping her from the cold.
A bell sounds faraway,
It brings him back to reality,
He can't seem to find words to say,
For the reason he finds no sympathy.
He faces her with a brave mask,
But as he turns around the tears start flowing,
For the rest of the day he ignores his tasks,
He can't ignore the hole in his life that has now grown.
