Miami
Poetry
When I walk down the streets of Miami
There’s so much to see
Coral flowers blowing in the summer breeze
Strangers dancing in the moonlight
Spanish guitars singing the tunes of new love
I’ve walked these streets many times before
But of all the things I expected to see one night
I didn’t expect to see you
Sitting at a candlelit table
Looking so perfect and blue.
But at that table, it’s not just you
It’s you and someone new
And goodness, you look at her
Like you once looked at me
Full of passion and fire
With an ocean of stars in your eyes
As tourists pass by
I can’t help but watch and wonder
What I did
To make you fall out of love with me
Was it something I did?
Or something I said?
I’ll never know, so I will sit here
On this lonely, bustling street corner
And watch you laugh with her
As I wonder about an answer
That you will never give me.
