Pandita Sietesantos Poet Quatrain

At the End of the Road

At the End of the Road

Stop begging me to stay!
Don’t act like you don’t know,
our journey ends right here - 
my answer is still “NO!”

Once you were my pleasure, 
but now you’re my poison.
Your type of love is toxic;
so that’s my real reason.

I’m tired of these rocky roads,
and done with the games you play.
I’m dizzy from your ups and downs;
it’s time we call it a day!

Let’s make this nice and easy-
I don’t want you to cry.
Let’s have no handshake, no hug,
nor a last kiss good-bye.

Stop begging me to stay!
Surely by now you should know,
we reached the end of our road…
as love left us long ago!

Heidi Sands February 8, 2017 at 9:41 AM Well done with this Pandita! I admire your straightforwardness and I bet many can relate to this. :) Pandita Sietesantos February 8, 2017 at 10:46 AM Thank you so very much, my dear Heidi! We have to know when it's time to move on - no point holding on to any relationship that is toxic or that has issues which can't be fixed! Hugs. Pandita

James Inman January 19, 2017 at 9:45 AM A strong write Pandita. I'm not sure I could be so straight forward about the end of a relationship. Pandita Sietesantos January 19, 2017 at 8:45 PM Hi James, it's so nice to hear from you and receive your kind compliments! Actually I am a firm believer that when a relationship breaks down and there are no fixes, then I should be straightforward and firmly end it - not callously but as gently as possible of course :-)! Best wishes. Pandita
