Until You

Posted on January 12, 2023 by Penny Wilson Writes

 
To lay my heart 
on the line 
again

was something 
I wouldn't have 
imagined 

until you

Footfalls echo 
on empty floors 
and empty walls 

Empty halls 
that once rang 
with our laughter 

Only the reverberation 
of my heartbeat 
now loud and clear

The result of 
taking the risk
