They All Leave You

They All Leave You

A Poem by John Patrick Robbins AKA Gonzo

She had no reason and I wasn't going to ask.
Her  body left as her thoughts I was removed from long ago.

The rides that we viewed from the pier the sunrise and passed drinks I was a phantom a shadow of the man who gave all to the page and nothing to her.

No magic holds more true than the waves crashing endless into the fading darkness shore .

I had stood long before and I would stand long after .
They all leave you empty as when you first met.

This was far from my last .
The page held more than a shallow hearts departure .


There's no regret in goodbye .
Just a change if scenery.
A bottle in the sand and my thoughts to themself

She left the room.
And left me together thinking I'd be torn apart.

But my thoughts are all that has ever been the whole of me .

And the silence played endless in perfection with the crashing tide.

Your passion remains where they leave just the same.

Such an emotional piece...sadness tinged with a lingering nostalgia, beautifully prosed hon...

My thoughts are all that has ever been the whole of me. A writers lamentation indeed. It is difficult when the writing is the core and the humans who may love us become ancillary.
