Your name on that
card
Now faded and torn
Makes me feel sad,
So empty -
forlorn!
Right there on the
back
You had signed it
for me
Declaring a love
For the whole
world to see.
This card was a
symbol
Of love passionate
and new -
I was young and
naive
When I received it
from you.
But just like this
card
Which has faded
and frayed
The love we once
had
Has long since
decayed.
I dialled the
numbers
You had written in
pen
Recalling the
passion
We both had back
then!
But our love was
short-lived
Because you let it
go.
Did I stay in your
heart
I just needed to
know.
No time like the
present
For contacting
you,
You should learn
of the son
I have been
raising for you!
I heard the phone
ringing,
It rang for some
time
Then I heard a
soft voice
At the end of the
line!
"Hello? Can I
help you?
Hello - is anyone
there?"
This voice from
the past
Was just too much
to bare!
I closed my eyes
tight
As my heart
skipped a beat
But I slammed down
the phone
Then beat a hasty
retreat!
Was there really
much point
In recalling the
past?
It was never 'real
love'
Since our love did
not last.
So I'll continue
to be
A lone parent
instead -
I will stick to my
story
That is Daddy is
dead!
He already thinks
His Dad died in
the war -
So with no more
regrets
This card goes
back in store!
