"She Talks"

"She Talks"

 

"I love you," she said to the wall,
Seeing his face, where it was not...at all.
Smiling sweetly, she reached out to touch,
The one that meant to her...so much.
 
Speaking softly...to the wall,
Her mind heard...his loving call.
Talking of places...they had been,
Lost in memories, of where and when.
 
She takes his hand, and slowly walks,
Hearing his voice...yet only she talks.
Happily planning...their future it seems,
Knowing not...she speaks to a dream.
 
He remains with her...night and day;
Unaware to her...he went far away.
Happily in her thoughts...she remains
Holding a memory...where love had lain.
 
She talks to the face, in her mind,
Others knowing...she walks around blind.
Memory lost...in a long ago past,
Where life and love, for her...still last.
 
She talks to her love, leaning against the wall;
Not knowing she is speaking...to "no one" at all.

You create a sad situation.
"She talks to her love, leaning against the wall;
Not knowing she is speaking...to "no one" at all"
Hard to watch people fall apart and can't find themselves again. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Very well presented and it gives a human feeling to a non human object. Nice work

sadness and lost love here, that moment when the pain has taken the mind and turned it into a world of its own, great writing Kathie, you have a special talent :)

This poem started out like a sweet love poem, but then it got sad with the last lines. I really like what you did with this poem! It is beautiful! :)

Speaking softly...to the wall,
Her mind heard...his loving call.

Knowing not...she speaks to a dream.
