"Paper Boat II"
Ron Kinard (c) 2009
















the thoughts of you
overwhelm
as I think of you
one last time

the tears burn
my heart exploding
as I write this
one, final
gooodbye

we shared so much
giving ourselves
to each other
for so long
we were
joined
completing each other
mind, body, spirit
indistinguishable
without one another
or, so I thought

you found a new life
a new person
a new way
leaving the old behind
casting me aside
like an old shoe

I still love you
somewhere deep in my being
you will always be there
even though
you're not

as the rain spatters
overflowing the gutters
my tears smear
the ink on this note
for you

this is all you are getting from me
the last, the end
the writings I'm leaving behind
on this piece of paper

carefully folding it
making a little paper boat
I adhere the last of my feeling
adding a few tears
and drop it in the gutter

as the water rises
the little paper boat shoves off
careening gently toward
the awaiting drain
taking my tears and emotions
with it
the last thoughts of you
down and away
gone forever
away from me
away
from my heart
