Left In The Past

You left me in your past,

Walked away from me, from us,

I know why, at least I think I do,

It’s the same reason I might have left you,

We used to laugh so much,

Silences were pleasant and soon broken,

But then everything became complicated,

Silly love stories turned into jealous mumblings,

Outrageous tales just scoffed at,

Now our laughter is brittle,

We don’t fall into each other’s arms,

Stead we just pause for an awkward, momentary, hug,

I’m not sure when everything changed,

And I felt so cruel when I hesitated in taking your calls,

Until I realised you let me ring until the last,

Then I saw your own reticence, your lack of interest,

It hurt to think we were once so close,

Because it made this new void so much greater,

It’s such a silly game this thing called friendship,

All those forever’s twisting into never-evers’,

Still, it hurts the same as if we’d never left

Those sun filled days,

To know my number’s long gone from your mind,

To see how I don’t add you to the Christmas list,

Or rush to call when yet again I fall in or out of love,

I suppose, truly, you didn’t leave me,

We left each other in a past

Where the smiles still glow,

The laughter still rings pure,

The love still engulfs us

And all we used to be,

In one great and glorious shared memory

Till we left each other for the future…

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
