Not Enough...A Poem by David Lewis PagetShe left without any warning, Not even saying goodbye, I turned around and she’d gone to ground And I always wondered why. It’s not that I didn’t love her, And not that I showed no care, But I got up in the morning And I found she wasn’t there. I didn’t know where to find her There wasn’t even a note, The only thing that she’d said to me About leaving was, I quote: ‘I can’t see a long-term future, I can’t see an always ‘us’, There’ll come a day when I want away And I’d hate to make a fuss.’ I noticed her empty wardrobe For the door she left ajar, She’d taken the quilt, her drawers were spilt And she took our second car, I drove around to her friend’s address And I asked where she had gone, But she accused me of carelessness For losing her friend, Yvonne. The house is suddenly cold and dark For she failed to pay the bill, A dreadful silence is on my heart For I love the woman still, And clouds have gathered since she has gone There’s rain upon the step, I didn’t think I would feel the chill But I find my eyes are wet. It’s not as if I can plead my case For I don’t know where she is, The world’s a cruel and empty place When you lose a goodnight kiss, Perhaps she’s gone to another love Is the thought that drives my fear, Then what I offered was not enough At the turning of the year.
