I watch the lovers shuffling <br />The boxes, bags while muffling <br />Their said goodbyes amid their things <br />And grayer skies the evening brings <br /> <br />I see them sort through photographs <br />The ones depicting how they laughed <br />When all was new within their promise <br />So sadly now we pay them homage <br /> <br />I look at how she hides her heart <br />As slow he turns, head down, departs <br />A taunting radio plays their song <br />It melody carried far too long <br /> <br />I witness, but fail to provide <br />A bridge to gap the deep divide <br />Instead as common ground, romantic pretender <br />I'm the drop off point, return to sender<br /><br />Susan Lacovara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/return-to-sender-10/
