A Leave of Absence

Don't look for her At the break of day No need to call either She has gone away. She left behind A path of tears She took a drive To a place of peace. Don't knock on her door And call her name No need to implore She knows your games. It is way too late She'll be gone for a while She has turned the page Your regrets are futile. Don't wait for her Don't hope for her return No need to bother She believes not your words. She will not leave a trace for you to follow To wait here is a waste Better for you to let go. Don't look for her At the break of day No need to call either She has gone away. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 06.24.10

Yes, Caroline-Cécile, can feel with this poem! It also happened to me with my fiancee once. She left without any explanation and till today I have no idea why. Than finally I gave up asking. Enjoyed your poem and thank you for your welcome comments! ...Alles Gute1...Gert

People often have to live with regrets that they didn't treat someone better. Then, at last, it is too late to do anything about it. Love the message and the melodic flow of your wonderfuly rhyme! Love, Carolyn
