PAST HEARTACHES


STORM CLOUDS



A whiff of her perfume drives you crazy
Will the aroma ever be forgotten
Envy the beauty of a purple daisy
Bedded majestically in a field of white cotton
She had come to let you know
It is one sided love you cannot win
You find it so hard to let her go
But to try and keep her would be sin
You must stay long enough to see her depart
For to stay away would not be forgot
Leaving is bringing on a broken heart
The long days of suffering that is your lot
The practiced dialog came so easy
Words memorized and well versed
Why is your stomach feeling Queasy?
You only have to say them as rehearsed
Storm clouds are enveloping the sky
The air alive with singing birds
Two joggers as one come trotting by
Chattering drown out as unheard words
Then none are you able to say
As a train rumbles down the track
Quickly she had gone on her way
And you know she will never look back
To continue would be so absurd
Yet the tears you cannot restrain
Sobs lost in the sound of new falling rain
