Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

There goes nothing

July 5, 2026

There goes nothing,
there goes something,
something of nothing,
but of what I fail to see, for it is empty to me,
and I am sat numbly on a train,
as the distance grows further apart between you and me,
and as the distance grows,
how the heartache grows,
and though I miss you I should try to disagree,
because I want this pain to end,
I want this pain to go away,
and of it I want to be free,
because you left me on a Tuesday morning,
and took of all your things,
and you kissed me goodbye on the cheek,
and you took off your wedding ring,
and it is a moment etched in my memory,
a moment that will stay with me,
and I will shed a few tears I am sure,
and soon, I will be as far away from you as I can be,
but will the distance make me happy,
as happy as I once was,
I do not see it, but time is supposed to be a healer,
but here I am, taking my time on a journey,
through my thoughts on a journey to the sea,
on a journey on a boat travelling under a burning sun,
trying to forget about you,
as I stare blankly at the passing scenery.
