Did I Say Something Wrong? Poem by Alf Hutchison

Did I Say Something Wrong?

Rating: 5.0


Forgive me; did I say something wrong,
Your countenance has changed; no smile.
Pushed now to a depth, I don’t belong.
Your plaything, for just a fleeting while.
Long gone, your voice of lovebird song;
When you would go that extra mile
Was I born to be your sounding gong,
Rasping at my inner soul, metal to a file.
Why did it end; did I do something wrong.

Sad, but I have been there. This poem reminds me of Jaryd's poem 'The Small Print'. You are very good. Are these all the poems you have written or only those you have published? Regards Dee

I do like this Alf, it applies to so many of us 'Pushed to a depth, I don’t belong', how many have asked this question? . .Happy Easter weekend to you
