Looking out or inward by Now and Here

Go Quickly Love!

Go quickly before I beg you to stay.
Go without a kiss or plea, always and forever
for there is no 'awhile' for me.

Go without a sad farewell, do not kiss
my tears that fall.
Do not hold me then let go, a last embrace
is hardest of all

I wish... I wish that I could sing
in the waterfall with you,
to know the rainbow's shine.
I wish that I could still wish on stars
knowing you will never be mine.

Oh that I could be a temporary girl
and cherish what I would find,
but it would be the death of me,
those tomorrows that would never be mine.

I cannot stay, or ask you to.
I cannot romp and play and laugh
in this ephemeral glow
knowing it was just my longing
that made this hope seem so eternal.

Heartfelt poetry Susan and it is better to be become strong than feel inadequate in a love relationship that is going nowhere. The sentiment is sad and the poem is a fine write as Fay comments.

Such a sadness permeates this verse Susan - - heart-wrenching and poignant the lines drip with poetic emotion. Fine write.
