Leaving you was hard I wanted you to say stay our time is too short it felt right for us today I thought you knew but if you did you couldn’t throw your voice into the solid hush of the second It gaped between us like a crevasse I could hear your don’t go echo in your eyes I went anyway I didn’t want you to trip stumble and fall on the words you couldn’t give away I’m sure you couldn’t take the drop without remembering and finding history all over again Leaving you was hard I wanted you to say stay but you were afraid it would feel right… |

Oh, thanks for stopping by to read ![]() Ahhh....yes.. it is always hard to leave him. He is the home of my heart, for sure, and it is always a long ride back to where I sleep (or mostly don't sleep!) at night. Thanks again! Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |

THIS POEM IS VERY WELL RENDERED. CONGRATS ON THE AWESOME WRITE. I HAVE BEEN SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS STORY...LATELY! HE CAME HOME. THAT'S BETTER...AT LEAST FOR NOW. WE'LL SEE. IT DOEN'T ALWAYS WORK DOES IT? EVEN WHEN THE LOVE IS REAL. I WILL SEND YOU A POEM THAT HAPPENED BEFORE HE RETURNED. I THINK YOU MIGHT RELATE. ![]() LOVE CONNIE I AM BLIND/I POST IN CAPS. FORGIVE IF THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE. A VOICE READER HELPS ME READ POSTS. MY SCR-NAME POSTED WRONG, IT IS MUSEconnieHUES |

Lovee, for all of us has so many twists and turns...some so very small and inconsequential....others...like the earth on our shoulders... |

icequeen, Sorry I missed your entrance, but this is a gem I'm glad I found! I hope you enjoy your stay with us. I've found it so rewarding. I think you will, too. "I went anyway I didn’t want you to trip stumble and fall on the words you couldn’t give away" Unselfish love at its best; walking away is so difficult! Enjoyed your poetry. miscellanea |
