Search No More

When lives diverge

Don't look where you cannot find me.

Where hollow eyes and words collide

when shadows hinge on subtlety 

and leave me breathless from the ride.

I dare not grace the gravel pavement

where my feet before had danced.

I will not jade the melody

that tightly held my heart entranced.

Why now do oceans drive us further

when we were just mere tears away?

Where open wounds were left in scorn

and there was nothing left to say.

Don't watch for me at dead end alleys

far beyond forgotten haunts.

You knew me then but now, no more

forget all youth and frivolous jaunts.

I am not now who once you knew

so free I thought my mind to be

the child had walked away with you

revealing what was left of me. 

Why do you search with vacant interest?

I left this place for distant shore

our touch was blessed for season fleeting

but now I ask you, search no more.

How it aches, when those roads diverge. You painted beautifully this sad reality. Some may handle it better than others, and some may require a nudge to say, "it is time to move on".

I loved the line, "we were just mere tears away".....

Great poetry.
