I left

I left

I left my heart, where I hung my cap,
With the girl, who held it tight,
To keep for me, for eternity,
Guarded, by her might.

I left my love beside her,
On the pillow, of our bed,
On the scented sweetened cushion,
Where rested once my head.

I left a million love – songs,
Dancing in the air,
And all around her, dreaming,
Everywhere.

I left a thousand memories too,
These for every day,
To spark our love, with a thought anew,
To lighten each dark day.

I left a heart that’s grieving,
For all eternity,
But see that peg, where I hung my cap,
See that cap, -see me

About the author

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
