Tipping Down

Streetlight.jpg



There’s so much pain
In the empty night,
Where the wind
Has its way
;


The only light
A headlight flare
From a passing car
And memories
Of what we were.


I'm struggling now
With loneliness
And fear,
Uncertain
Of where to go
From here;


Lost and numb
As on the day
You left me
Without staying
To explain


Left me stranded
And abandoned
Standing
In the pouring rain
.
