Sharon Ruebel Poet Prose Poetry

One Last Gift

Return the happiness you have taken from me
If you will not share it with me than it has no place
within you.  Return the happiness for my life has no
meaning no beginning or ending without it.  Return
the happiness and try to remember how you once
loved me and how sweet and sincere your words fell
from your lips.  Return the happiness for if you ever
loved me even the slightest bit you will allow me this
one final gift...

Carolyn Devonshire December 16, 2010 at 12:25 PM It's hard to "return the happiness" if you no longer love someone, Sharon. Perhaps by being a kind and supportive friend there is a way. A thought-provoking poem in a form I haven't seen before. I can feel the longing so deep in your words. Love, Carolyn
