The kisses placed upon her cheek
got in the way of words they’d speak
so they decided to be meek -
saying goodbye in the rain and snow
the man without a plan but with scars to show
and a woman he confessed he didn’t know.
He nursed emotional incompetence
tried to fill his head with commonsense
broken by the weight of such pretense
alone at the top of his big old house
where the only game was cat and mouse
and his heart and soul were sure to grouse
he escaped away inside his books
tried to avoid the dirty looks
loosing himself in crannies and nooks
and that’s where he waits unto this day
he just turned his back and walked away
with nothing in his heart and no more to say.

Hi Lb - poor little man, hiding away, this reminded me of the man who slept for 40 years. Like the poem Emma |
