About the Poem
After I broke up with my boyfriend, whom I really loved, I asked him if we could ever get back together. He replied, "When pigs fly!" It was a joke, because he always uses that phrase, but he did mean what he said. I could not face being without him, and I wrote this poem to express my sadness and pain and the hope that we would someday get back together.
Pigs on the Wing |
| by Lauren |
| After you left me I wasn't the same. You were stuck in my mind Like a terrible stain. Oh, the rejection! I couldn't face the shame Of my once whole heart Now butchered and slain. A feeling that I Could never explain, I would cry Whenever I heard your name. I wanted your soul To once again claim. My heart took A very long time to tame. I constantly wallowed through The sorrow and the pain. Occasionally glancing Up though the rain. And watching For pigs on the wing. |
