The winds of change

The winds of change

A Poem by Notapoet

The winds of change

Have swept through our tree of life

And stripped the branches bare

 

Naked limbs

Resembling gnarled arms

Reach for what used to be

But is no longer there

 

Left cold and alone

Any remnants of love or happiness

Has been thoroughly erased

 

A twisted skeleton

Of a once flourishing life

Now stands in its place

 

Dust settles on the surface

Of the once lively

Soul that used to be

 

Cobwebs have become its

Security blanket and dead

Parasites and insects its company

In a place named misery

 

Though there is still a beat

Of the heart, there is no drive

No destination or purpose

 

Just an empty shell

That’s smells of

Regret and sorrow

 

Whose decaying bark

Is just a symbolic reminder

To our faded dreams

Which no longer serves us

 

Just a silent tomb

Which echoes the sadness

Of endless today’s

And a forgotten tomorrows

I think it would have been hard to paint a 'more dead' image of a relationship than the one here. The message is driven home - each stanza like a nail in the coffin of this connection. There is such sadness too.
