NaPoWriMo Day 4


Prompt: a simply written sad poem inspired by Craig Morgan Teicher’s Son

We speak everyday
Yet you do not know me.
The very thought makes me sad.
Was it the years away,
When I volunteered myself
To boarding school
That built the bridge
We cannot cross?

Or was it simply Time that passed us by
Without a warning
Sweeping the years along with it
As it floated by?

And now there you stand -
At the finish line,
I can faintly see your silhouette,
Hear your beckoning voice.

At the other cliff,
I patiently wait
For the tides to turn
Or the bridge to magically reappear
(Which both know that’s not happening
Any day soon.) I wrote this poem
Just to let you know
That I still miss you sometimes.
You know?
