Please Go

Please Go I told you it was ok to go but you stayed around anyway so close that the pain became unbearable and seized my existence day by day I needed you to go and not stand so close There are many beautiful places where you can be Go. Go and soar freely among the moon and the stars Or sit on a mountaintop and look out over the sea Go and stay away long enough for me to heal when you come back around again, I’ll feel your touch as sweet memories of you will make me smile Just don’t stand too close. It will hurt too much. Written by Carolyn Carter The One Who Touched My Heart Poetry Contest Sponsored by Regina McIntosh
