FAR AWAY WILD SEA

A WOMAN AND HER LOST LOVE

Milly didn't think
it'd get this bad.

Odd the way
things turn out,
she mused.

One minute all way well,
and going along smoothly,
then it turned sour,
and we argued,

and he went off
with someone else,
some girl from his office,
some b***h who had
no right to him.

I did the ground work,
she told herself,

did the hard graft
of out relationship,
then it went off

the rails,
and he said
it was over,
and went away,

and never came back
the next day.
I bet he shares
with her now
what he shared with me,

kisses, holds,
sex and such,

pretty all and much.
She thought it be
a life long thing,

be forever and ever
as women tend to do,
big white wedding,
bridesmaids,

church and flowers,
and their own place
and kids,
but no it was over,
out on a limb,

he with some other,
some b***h having him,

some thief in the night,
and she having none,
no dreams,

no marriage,
no kids,
nothing as far
as she could see,

just echoes of
a far away  
wild sea.
