Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

A Goodbye I Never Saw Coming

This Romeo is bleeding, but you don't see his blood - Bon Jovi - Always

                           
      I pretend not to care that you're gone.
     You don't see me bleed through my skin, 
      but my heart sure is bleeding, so please...

                       Come back to me!
                       Come back to me!

     Would you care to know how much time 
            I spend pining for your return?
       There aren't enough hours in the day!

                       Come back to me!
                       Come back to me!

                   Do you know how long
            you swim in the sea of my mind?
           My beloved, I miss you intolerably.

                        Come back to me!
                        Come back to me!

                  I would if I could genuflect;
              before you with my hands folded
             endlessly pleading,  please...please...

                        Come back to me!
                        Come back to me!
                        Come back to me!
 
        Your sudden goodbye left me blindsided
               We planned to dream til infinity...
              now I'm so lonesome I could cry.
