DM Babbit Poet Burlesque

I Have To Go

I have to go now.

Never thought this day would come
 perhaps, 
 it was inevitable.

Our days together
 always
 seemed so conditional.

You with your unkept dreams
 mine with my unkept promises
 kept us distantly apart.

If only time could be rewound
 the wounds would heal
 the unkind words spoken disappear.

Who knew this day would come?

Maybe both of us
 held that realization
 deep down in our hearts.

So now, I'll say my goodbyes
 with tears and sadden regrets
 as you go your way and I mine.

I have to go now, 
 it's just another,
 a simply sad
Goodbye,
