The Parting
The parting
Such loss
Such sorrow
These goodbyes
These cries
No tomorrow
Our needs so different,
mine changed,
when you went
This choking up,
the words stuck in my throat
This day.....
The words
I cannot say................
I wonder why
This day..........
Why I try
Be it as it may,
it might go away
Spirit feels its' crush
The loss
The first meeting
Heart in full flush,
its gloss
The words you want to say.........
but don't.........
Not to wound deep,
keep thoughts at bay
But inwards,
so hard to keep
This impatience
So unworthy from me
I feel the crack
I am fighting hard,
to keep it back
Years have now passed
since that first flush
How long can it last?
Now that my spirit,
feels the crush
Chasm so wide,
not even I can glide,
crossover
to the otherside
To do something............
out of the ordinary
Release this tension
Listen to the heart ring,
this I should mention
Funny how the littlest things,
make you snap
What it brings
The parting
The release
Ones' soul,
at peace
