What Of A Future Poem by Bailey Staggs

Where do I go? How do I move on from here?
In the blink of an eye, my world seemed to disappear.

The pain and hurt, too many times I cried today
Through the prison door, I watched my Love walk away

That final touch, one last kiss good-bye
One lonely little tear, was all I could cry

Too difficult to speak, as my heart lay broken
Too many words, were left unspoken

His life is so different, I cannot lie
His love for another, no longer can I deny

He said we weren't over. Said we weren't through
We had no chance from the start. This I knew was true.

I knew from the start, exactly who he was
No care of opinion, nor the chatty social buzz.

This man I love, in his beautiful brown eyes
He kept no secrets, nor told any lies.

His heart was true, this I believe
But he can't be with me. So, I must leave

It hurts so much, my heart burns from scourn
It's become one of those days, I wish I was never born.

Our future was uncertain. Though I really hoped it would hold
My Love was in prison, but I walked proud and bold.

The pain won't last. My broken heart will heal
Now, what of my future? Only time will reveal.
