Out My Window

Posted on August 19, 2020November 9, 2022 by Penny Wilson Writes

out my window 
the world continues
as if nothing ever happened
between us

there is no hint 
of what was
left unsaid

but in 
my head
and heart

'should haves'
and 
'what ifs'
crowd 
speculation

different choices

always in hindsight

would you change
your tune

our fitting together?

dreams take flight 
piece by piece
falling to the ground

tomorrows shattered

out my window 
is another day

another 
rotation of the earth
for me to navigate 
without you
