Whispers In The Summer Wind Poem by jim hogg

Whispers in the summer wind
Spoke of someone new
Your step so light and free
Told me we were through

I tiptoed round your secret life
As clumsy as a child
So much left unspoken
Gone to seed and growing wild

The fault was always mine
Somehow you couldn't speak
Some things never change
I made you feel too weak

I'm standing in your shadow now
Invisible and small
While Lies and alibis
They keep you standing tall

Tail lights in the distance
You hide behind the night
I wonder where you are
With your new love tonight

Is this the way love ends then
In this dark cul de sac
You driving off to him
And me here looking back

It's the agony of losing
It's all that might have been
It's what I might have done
To keep you here with me

For all those years together
We strained the bonds that tied
But someday we'll remember
When we walked side by side
