My Lost Love and the Robin
Inspired by Mother Combs' - What the Robin Knows
https://vocal.media/poets/what-the-robin-knows - Inspired this:
You left me, abandoned,
Alone and lonely.
No one understands me,
Or my pain.
***
I wait at the water's edge,
Hoping death will embrace me somehow.
Maybe then I can, Once again,
be with my one true Love.
***
I spot a bird, hopping by,
Singing merrily.
I stop to listen to his song,
His bright red breast and knowing eyes
***
Watch me cry.
Undeterred, his feathered breast rises and falls,
His song, seemingly unending.
Those eyes watch me as he sings.
***
Now I see him every day.
He welcomes me to his world.
He sees me. He seems to know my pain.
I feel like he has befriended this lonely girl.
What the Robin Knows soothes my wounded soul.
