[bodytext] => I don't want to leave you
and it's tearing me to shreds,
realizing that I am going to go,
for I really do not want to leave,
too many years have passed,
but I'm so tired of hanging on ...and so.....
I am turning my eyes northward
where the sunshine can be found,
and the ocean is just a wave away,
and the memory of waiting...
is never ever found,
and I will
N E V E R
touch on yesterday.
Your life it is so rosy....
and you've feathered your nest well,
and in another tree I sit and watch,
and you fly to where I'm waiting,
and sometimes you bring me crumbs,
and every now and then we seem to touch.
I don't want to leave you
and it's tearing me apart,
but I can't keep on watching
winter come,
while you're hoarding
all the warmth yourself...
there's a blizzard near my heart,
and I'm so tired of keeping ' us'
as one.
A dozen years have passed us by
and I have wandered far,
so many times by crawling on my knees,
with 'our' little child beside me,
I have looked to where you are,
and seen you are the only one
you please.
Now I feel the tears within me
swelling up inside
surging like a stormy memory...
and I don't want to leave you
but with my last drop of pride
I am finally taking care of me.
Remember that I tried to stay...
remember that I tried,
and never ever think
I didn't care,
it's just ...
I'm getting really tired,
I know that we're all wrong,
and it's time I found
a better life... elsewhere.
I don't want to leave you
and it's tearing me to shreds,
realizing that I am going to go,
for I really do not want to leave,
too many years have passed,
but I'm so tired of hanging on
...and... so...
I don't want to leave you
and risk my heart to die...
I don't want to...no... I don't,
but my love....

This poem has touched my raw nerve. With you, the word "goodbye" seems filled with such hope - with me, it's drowning in fear.....

Thank you Holly for your comment on my poem 'I don't want to leave you'
Yes the word 'goodbye' is frightening..but staying around and waiting for things to change or get beter is even more frightening in my opinion.I have wasted twelve years already....if I waited any longer I would be a fool....or else..... a bigger fool than I already am.Love hurts more often than not...hope????yes, I have that at least.Thank you and hang in there until you can't anymore ,then ...let go and fly away. |

| Kay's seen better days. Sounds like in her life and certainly in her poetry. This one was just too windy for me. I give it a 2.2 on the Nortiscale. |

A touching but sad write. I hope all can work out, if this is a true write for you Kay. I miss seeing you, although I am not on as often, I haven't seen you very much. I wish you well, and God bless in all your wishes of life for you. My heart just crushed on this write, so emotional and a good write too.
