Long Gone

  Day Six of my belated start to NaPoWriMo and here is poem number one. It’s called Long Gone…

When you get back

weary from the day

looking for comfort

I’ll be long gone.

 

When you wait for me

at the table on which

we broke our bread

I’ll be long gone.

 

When you look for me

in all the places

that we once shared

I’ll be long gone.

 

When you think back

on the good times

and search for signs

I’ll be long gone.

 

When you lie in bed

confused and bereft

wishing I was there

I’ll be long gone,

long gone
