Ah!

Ah !

how I relish

the silence between us

that speaks

a thousand words

Advertisements

it’s all in the mind!

I may have aged

but

in my heart

I will always be

a young girl

your love

you loved me

but

not the way

I envisioned

live dream achieve

go, leave

make a life for yourself

live dream achieve

say those words to the world

thanking us

your parents …

…visit the home

when we are old or gone

tell all

we meant the world to you

but

no one will know

how each minute of our lives

we missed

you being with us

beautiful no more

all my life

I tried

to be beautiful

and then

age grounded me

sixteen in her mind

she was sixteen

bubbling with youth

and beauty

until

she looked into the mirror

and

realised

it was all in her mind

and

youth had left her

years ago

no love

can you

ever

love the one

who

eons ago

bruised your body and mind
