Now Out in The Open

It is so very cold here,
out in the open like this ..
Even beside you,
I still shiver and freeze ..
As eventually, I began
to realise
there was no longer
any warmth
left at all in your tone,
your touch,
or the way that you feel ..
Indeed, your truest
of colours have
either been leaked,
had run away, or are now
very long flown ..
However, it seems they
are no longer hiding
right out, in the open ..
Yet still, it is
cold here, right down to
the bone and beyond
and such a very long way
from the home
we once used to reside
and make love in ..
When out of the blue
I recalled
from the platform how
much I always enjoyed
the smell
of coal burning
and the warm breath
of steam rising,
as it unashamedly kissed
me the very
same insane moment,
I eventually, dared to let go ..

The utter loss so poetically described. More than the death of a relationship but the loss of 'home'. And as 'home' is never a physical place ... how to ever rebuild? Hugs x
