Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Leave Me Be

Flowers greet the morning sun
Adorning where you sleep,
Yet I cannot bear their beauty
For the hurt, it lies too deep.

Winter days 'midst bitter cold
More reflect my mood,
I seek no warmth or comfort
Oh grant me solitude.

I do not wish to see the world
Begone with trifling things,
Just leave me be, disconsolate
To bear what sorrow brings.
