Susan Lacovara - Return To Sender

2014-06-18 5

I watch the lovers shuffling
The boxes, bags while muffling
Their said goodbyes amid their things
And grayer skies the evening brings

I see them sort through photographs
The ones depicting how they laughed
When all was new within their promise
So sadly now we pay them homage

I look at how she hides her heart
As slow he turns, head down, departs
A taunting radio plays their song
It melody carried far too long

I witness, but fail to provide
A bridge to gap the deep divide
Instead as common ground, romantic pretender
I'm the drop off point, return to sender
