The End of the Affair

It was with anticipation
that I stood on platform 2
of Piccadilly station:
I was expecting you.

All the passengers alighted
from the London Train.
I would’ve been delighted
to see you once again.

But it was not to be
and I shoulder the blame.
You learnt I wasn’t free,
that’s why you never came.

A bitter-sweet story told succintly and with such natural rhyming. Nice one Luigi.

Good for her! As usual, well turned economy of phrases. Rhiannon

A suitable punishment, Rhiannon. Skulduggery never pays.
