Over The Moon (Without You)

Just a bit of backstory before you read the poem. I've been in a writing rut since a long time and so I'm getting back on my feet by writing a poem a day using these September prompts that I came across on Instagram by @angelealowes. Here's my first work. 

Over the Moon (without you)

At first it seemed impossible 

How could I fall asleep

On your satin covered pillow 

And not miss the way you smiled

Right before you went to sleep

The way you'd put your arm over me

Marking your territory, unconsciously 

I thought I'd never get over it 

The gigantic possibility 

That you were the Love of my life

I can never do better than I did

But then the sky grew pink

While I sat in my chair

As you walked away

Three bags and my Corvette

You seem relieved 

As if the chains holding you back

Finally broke down

When i signed the divorce contract

And as heartbreaking as it was

20 years gone in smoke

I couldnt help but sit, melancholy 

Grasping me like cobwebs 

Letting you go has been 

The hardest battle i fought 

The soldier retires now

And I hope, I pray, I beg God 

Someday, when these heavy years are bygone

I'll be over the moon, without you.
