You Retreated Poem by Phil Soar

You Retreated



And so, to ease my comfort, you retreated
Took yourself away from all the pain
Reversed into a retrograde position
And love will never ever be the same

From the outside there was not a clear distinction
Between where love began and hurt prevailed
And after all this time the love has faded
And the partnership of years, right now has failed

The steps we took to try and save our friendship
Were like the footprints, moulded early on
Set in stone, and preserved there for forever
Now meaningless, now love has really gone

We talk, but do not speak that early language
The lover’s words that took the breath away
And now those words are empty as our hearts are
At times we feel there’s not much more to say

So take your time to equal out the balance
Of where you were, and where life takes you now
And don’t forget the hole you left inside me
After you had made that early vow.
