broken

[DrGeordie]

This is something that I wrote back in the day. Looking back at it now it seems a little maudlin, but those were darker days. If people like this I have a handful more in the archive. I've no idea if it's suitable for this audience but here it is.

Heart lost in a moment to the vision in the spotlight all those years ago
A lightning flash in the dancefloor dark pierced straight to the core
you came on like rolling thunder and we danced in the eye of the hurricane
But now I dance alone with the angels of the dawn...and all of them are you
Battled demons in the depths of the night
all sent by the darkness within
Felt that midnight disease choke me by degrees
Is their really any hope for this romantics broken soul
I gathered all the pieces but there's no picture on the box
So I lined up all the edges and tried to fill them in
There's shape in the middle thats missing
Naked contour line
the perfect fit for mine
But now that form is broken
and the lines no longer fit
And so I say
fare thee well
so long
and goodlife to you

I know you have gone on to post other poems after this one, but in reply to your question, I think it is suitable. Your final analogy is haunting me.

She was a fortunate lady.
