Walking Behind. Poem by Fay Slimm
Walking Behind.
I keep asking myself
Why I walked, deep in the shadow
Of one I thought clever,
Much brighter and stronger than I
Ever thought I could be.
I sit, hugging some mem'ry
Of stunning discovery, when
You abandoned my try
To remind you of how I never
Made the move to be free.
Your cold calculation
That conditions arisen meant end
To what we had been., but
By ignoring imploring you
Brought blind adoration,
Which had hid from my mind
Your unbending need to be right
In whatever you said,
To an end. Out from your shadow
Life is so good in the light.
oh boy! ..this one really gave me goosebumps...it so reminded me of the way i felt about someone in my own life and the oppression that i felt as long as i lived in awe of that person.! amazing write fay.a 10!
Hi Fay. Yet another good read. I like the last two lines, out of the shadow and into the light.your writing certainly needs to be kept out of those shadows. Thanks Regards Dave T.
