Vacant

I pass this vacant parkland on my way to work

It stands crumbling, abandoned and derelict

The desolation draws me in as I stop and lurk

Memories of happier times reel me like an addict

We walked on its once verdant grass before

Hand in hand making plans for a future bright

Now we don’t talk to each other no more

How did we ever end up losing that light?

In the undulating landscape of our relationship

We travelled from the peak to valley of emotions

It used to be love, happiness and companionship

Our cupboard is now bereft of all romantic notions.

I don't know if this how our story ends

The spotlight on it no more shining
Now is time for us to make amends

Rejuvenate that vacant land and keep trying.
