Out My Window

Posted on 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

should haves
and 
what ifs
crowd my
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

    “another
    rotation of the earth
    for me to navigate
    without you”
