Half A Lifetime Poem by Mary Champion

Half A Lifetime

I've spent half a lifetime
living for what might have been -
half a lifetime chasing an elusive dream.
Treasured memories
I could never quite let be,
half a lifetime
waiting for a fantasy.

Wasted years I'll never get to live again.
While you moved on
I waited for a cancelled train.
Half a lifetime living in the twilight zone
clinging to the phantom of the sweetest love I've ever known.
