A Saturday Poem

No Room

By Julie McElhinney

There’s not enough room

In my heart for you,

There used to be

Yes that part is true.

Pain and heartache

Have filled the space,

And time has started

To erase your face.

I used to wonder

How life would be,

If there was no longer

A “you and me.”

But I moved on

To make a new start,

And released the hold

That you had on my heart.
