Mill Village
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
I dread returning
To that former mill village,
Where Recollections
Of sorrow linger.
Such a heavy weight to bear.
It was on your bike,
Passing by,
That hope and aspirations
Opened.
But the greatest ache,
A deepened murmur,
Was that my affection
was never here.
Unspoken feelings
left unsaid,
Burdensome at times,
weighing on my mind.
