An Ode to Lucy

Lucy you'r my darling love
Like a faithful friend
You never left my side
With you I've shared my grief
And celebrated my zest for life.

Lucy, like an old companion
You know me well
You've cheered me up in my lows
And taken me places
That I never knew existed.

Lucy, we've seen some great days
And pretty awesome places togther
There are memories so many
That sometimes it hurts
Coz a lot has changed since our happy days


Lucy, without you a lot of images
Seem incomplete...
Those long drives
Those night outs in the rain
Those cold cozy nights

Lucy, I remember I was so mad
When I gave you to my brother
And he treated you real bad
The scratch and a dent on you
Left on me deep scars

Lucy, Im so sorry
But its time that I give you up
I know I promised to take care of you
Get you cleaned and serviced time to time
And treat you like my wife, not like a mistress
But I want to rid myself of all the memories
Good and bad
I want to start afresh and remain unaffected
By the cruel realities of life
I don't want to loose my guard
Not even before you.

Lucy, your new companion
Has sworn to treat you well
I hope you forgive me some day
And move on with your new friend
I hope you treat him just as well.

Lucy, worry not for me
For I've bought myself a new car
Only this time I haven't named her
You must remember no one can take your place
You were my Lucy
This new machine would just be a car.

In the end
I'd just like to say
Although You aren't with me Lucy
I think of you everyday
Coz Lucy, you were my darling love.

  1. well, quite a unique poem. for the 1st time i read a poem written for a car.
    its a nice read and one good thing about the poem is that the reader keeps on guessing what lucy is .. a cat or .. a frnd or something else...
    anyway, keep writing !!
