Poem ~~ Lady and her Bird

Alone; 
 we cried 

I cried again today
'twill be my last
She and her crazy bird
they flew the coup
They filled their case and left
no kiss "Goodbye"
Now we are here alone
me and my dog

We cried and cried that day
left and they're gone 
They might as well had joined 
the circus call 
I don't know where she went, 
she and that bird 
But me and my dog here 
are all alone 

If you see them somewhere 
and they wonder 
Yes I cried more today 
but there's no more 
No more tears for her and 
that crazy bird  
Me and my dog alone 
we'll cry no more 

And if she wants to come 
we have a place 
A place to live for her 
and silly bird 
I'll say I'm sorry for 
whatever was 
I hope she's sorry too 
she knows for what 

Now they're gone it's alright 
she and the bird 
Dog and me wait no more 
our tears are gone

  4. You might be over it, but I suspect the dog still pines and watches the front door!

  5. A tour of heartbreak all the way to...calm? Sharp pain to dull? Evocative.

  6. I think the tears are palpable. Heartbreak is never easy and those endless tears leaves one exhausted.

  7. Sounda as if you and dog have shed your tears, and are quite prepared to say goodbye...but not exactly keeping the door closed. Hmmm

  9. Oh, the melancholy of this piece goes right to my heart. Loss and its yearning are so powerfully written in this poem.
