If I

If I leave, apart of me will vanish like the sight
of distant mountains,when a blanket of fog
passes by.If I leave my breath will to. 
I must stay even when adversity strikes.
I must like what I dislike about you. 
Thus we become strong and last long,
even when we argue until breath is short. 
If I leave, life is bland, my heat will be a 
barren land and broken into more pieces
than sand of beach land. You know only 
the songs of my heart, so what music 
will heal you if I leave 
I will not leave you poetry.

Poetry my outlet, my release without which I forget to see or feel the world I live in and I am as a river dammed and only a trickle of my former self. You have just become my muse for today and I will post this poem a bit later. A well understood emotion here. Huggs TLee
