Us
there was you
wanting me to stay
offering your strength
to bite my shame
spit it out into colourful memories
design a new beginning
create a building block of happiness
there was me
thinking I should go
disgraced by my choices
huddled in my past
a monochrome of solitude
unable to take
not willing to give
so I left
took humiliation with me
wrapping it around lost dreams
Barbara Gurney is based in a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. She writes across several genres including fiction for adults and children, and free verse poetry. Although an optimistic person, Barbara's poetry often explores the mournful side of life. Her unpredictable thought processes are an advantage when creating short stores. Barbara's novel Road to Hanging Rock was released in November 2013.
