Moving On...

A Poem

By Steven BaldryPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

For 6 and a half years you have been my one place...

My one constant and my one saving grace.

When my empire had crumbled you took me in...

As my new single life started to begin.

If these walls could talk what tales they would tell...

If the ceilings had eyes what sights would of been seen.

I had wished for experience and cupid worked his spell...

Behind the door it stays now in what could have been.

So many memories all around here that I see.

So many ghosts of the faces that still haunt me.

Everywhere I look different scenarios are played...

Of scenes of fantasies and memories made.

As I lose myself in thought of those come and gone.

I don’t know if with any I truly belonged.

But they came, and it all happened so very fast.

As I close the door here forever I know I leave them in the past.

With the heart that has been broken too many times to care.

Enough for another to promise now to be there.

As I move out I move on leaving my history under this roof.

Starting a new chapter of this life with my learned truth.

I move on with just my daughter's hand in mine.

With only space in my heart to care for her in this lifetime.

As we move out to the countryside and into our new home.

I am sure I won’t be lonely but I will be alone.

I have been writing Poetry since I was a teenager. Now in my late thirties I enjoy it more than ever. I find it a wonderful release and it helps me to free my mind and understand myself and my emotions.
