Lady Hilda Adams

How bitter the smile

Hiding behind her veil

Waiting for him to write again

Her hopes, her aims destroyed

So many days have passed

Passion they had then, now faded

Oh those heartfelt dead desires

Her dreams sad memories

Like shrivelled apples

Hanging on the bough of time

Oh, that's poignant. Left waiting, no word of change of mind, no certainty even if letter lost?

Is this about a real story? Rhiannon

Thank you for your comment on "The Un-posted Letter" unfortunately it is entirely fictional. I remember well though in my early years of being stood up on a date, so, maybe the poem was generated from latent memories of my early years.
