Fated To Go

Does trying to disprove
 what I believe
 make you feel better about what
 you don’t...

Is your insecurity
 crying out
 that maybe I feel something
 you won’t…

Does the depth of my commitment
 bother you so
 leaving you distant
 fearful and alone…

Like a branch that’s now broken
 swinging high in the tree
 one strong gust
  —and your fated to go

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
