Standing In Your Wake Poem by Twilight Whispers

You used to know me; you used to smile
When you greeted my beaming face,
You used to make me laugh with your
Suggestive, boyish grace.

We'd sit on benches in the park
Under the sun listening to the birds
Singing in the trees for us
With their melodically, coded words.

You used to take me out and
We’d go dancing by the lake,
And now I’m standing here
In the lonliness of your wake.

Sometimes I walk passed you and
I see no acknowledgement there
When I know that your eyes are screaming
For moments too sweet to bear.

I can see that when you pass me by
You do not know what to say
So you say nothing, you carry on walking
And you have forgetten me by the end of the day.
