Out in The Open

I'll leave it up to you .. because I'll never know anyway .. 🤍

Out in The Open

It is so very cold here,

out in the open like this ..

Even beside you,

I still shiver and freeze ..

As eventually, I began

to realise

there was no longer

any warmth

left at all in your tone,

your touch,

or the way that you feel ..

Indeed, your truest

of colours have

either been leaked,

had run away, or are now

very long flown ..

However, it seems they

are no longer hiding

right out, in the open ..

Yet still, it is

cold here, right down to

the bone and beyond

and such a very long way

from the home

we once used to reside

and make love in ..

When out of the blue

I recalled

from the platform how

much I always enjoyed

the smell

of coal burning

and the warm breath

of steam rising,

as it unashamedly kissed

me the very

same insane moment,

I eventually, dared to let go ..
