End of the Road

sue.evans

LONELY

Even when you're there

We sit together but exist in our own little worlds,

When did our paths divide?

When did we stop travelling side by side?

SOLITARY

No more talk,no shared laughter

Now we move in parallel lines,

No intimacy, no shared plans

As our paths no longer intertwine,

SECLUDED

We meet in the same company 

But we have no shared topics

Alone, even in a crowded room

No longer viewed as in each other's pockets,

FORLORN

When did it begin, this loneliness?

The end of the road we travelled together,

When did you move to another path?

Leaving me with only memories to treasure?

DESOLATE

Time for me to accept it's over 

Time to live our separate lives

Was it ever love or just a response to loneliness?

And an opportunity to banish it from our sides?

ESTRANGED

Over half my life has been shared with you

It's taken a long, hard journey to realise

It was loneliness masquerading as love

And life is too short to continue living lies.

    Ohhhhhhh SUE ~ I wasn't expecting this from one so vibrant and positive in your outlook and Poetry to date ! I'm not married (yet) so i have to experience the ECSTASY (and the AGONY) which I am sure will come ! The negativity of the STATES you describe ~ LONELY ~ SOLITARY ~ SECLUDED ~ FORLORN ~ DESOLATE ~ ESTRANGED do exist in community ~ families ~ friendship & courtship etc BUT ~ They must cut much deeper in a relationship (marriage) which you thought would stay warm forever ~ so so sad. Thanks for CARING & SHARING ~ Thinking of you and praying for you ~ Hugs ~ Your Friend BRIAN

        My poem was in response to a friend going through this- not myself.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          I feel for you it is sad. You are a strong woman and things will get better.
