Poem    To One Whose Affection I've Lost by Edea Baldwin (3 ratings) Rate this Poem (5 best) 1 2 3 4 5   Did it seep away like liquid from a cracked cup? Tiny pearl drops forming along the crack, slowly dribbling down the side. Or was it more like a steady, maddening drip from a broken faucet? A sound so trivial, yet over time enough to erode even the steadiest nerves. Perhaps it was more violent than that, Perhaps it was a torrent, a cascade of old feelings pouring, gushing, falling over the brink to be lost in the churning waters. However it left, the simple fact is that It did, and now I am left to wonder. Heart more numb than anything else. The pain, sharp for some time, has now dulled, but It is everpresent, like a canker blossom. And the hardest thing is Not knowing why. Sponsor ads
