The heartbreak of each new parting,

makes me wonder why we say hello.

It leaves me unsettled and wanting,

though I try so hard not to show,

the pain in my heart of the parting,

each bittersweet delaying farewell,

leaving me reeling and hurting,

cast back to my solitary hell.

Where does time go,

when you’re in a hurry?

It slips away,

with stress and worry.

Hopscotch rules,

it skips a step,

elastically stretches,

in the dentist chair.

Then time just stops,

when tragedy stills,

and doffs its cap,

respecting life’s ills.

Sheffield streets,

sodium skies.

Satsuma skin,

sallow sight.
