Only The Laughter
~*~

A love that dwell
within my mind
Is no longer there
Evicted to nowhere
A soul that once sang
Happy songs
Who never did wrong
Now soaks in tears
Only the void echoes
Of laughter remains
From yesteryears.

A classic feel to this poem, William. I wonder if we all don't end up this way, having lost, but risked it. We all have that one that got away, or worse, a situation more tragic. Love and hugs,
Sheila

A bitter sweet way to look at life but expressed with honesty and truth, not sure if this is your personal experience but if so I know you will find a new song and add the old to the songbook of your heart.

William,
i think love is still there, too,
even if it's unfilfilled; there's such
longing and tenderness of expression
in these lines.
Very fine indeed.
