Poetry Drafts / 19 October 2016

if it was as it was meant to be

I would write you a song

sing it in tune

the Sunday morning

stroll along the

Brighton peer

would last longer than

the takeaway soya latte

we always shared

But the fire faded

drowned by white water

rivers and tears

now only the memories

remain
