... and he said.... <br />and she said..... <br />they intruded heads, <br />went to bed....... <br /> <br />it was a 'game' of consequences <br />and soon followed sequences; <br /> <br />....................... <br /> <br />... some months later in time, <br />he declared 'you are mine, <br />I am yours, <br />you, my darling, are always my all'... <br /> <br />and there was a moment of note <br />on the point that he wrote <br />on a fished-from-his pocket <br />piece of paper; <br /> <br />he had given his vote <br />to the girl he found cute; <br />he'd decided <br />he wanted her forever; <br /> <br />he had written his vows <br />in a place he called 'now' <br />and he read out a beautiful poem; <br /> <br />and on the surface of his heart <br />'we can never be apart' <br />but in its depths <br />he wished to be alone; <br /> <br />so one night <br />with a fright <br />he conjured up 'her' true soul <br />and it wasn't the person he'd thought; <br /> <br />and he tried and he tried <br />both through truth and through lies <br />but whatever - <br /> <br />she could not be 'taught'; <br /> <br />so they said their goodbyes <br />and there was no suprise <br />of the where and the when and the how; <br /> <br />and they made their own lies <br />of their farces of lives <br />and they told themselves they were quite clever <br /> <br />as they put on their ties <br />and they said their goodbyes <br /> <br /> <br />and that was that, and for then, and forever<br /><br />Tara McH<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-need-to-wear-a-tie-on-saying-goodbye/
