Return to abandon again

"Some things need to be let go before other things can be let in". 
                                                          ~ Marianne Williamson

Come back into my life again
If it’s but to abandon yet again,
come back for a moment brief
Oh, even if it’s to give me grief.

With impish look in your eyes
you escaped like a lover’s sighs
forsaking me like a haunted isle
I am dismayed by your cruel wile.

It’s been a long while and I forgot
did we love each other or hurt a lot?
Seeing you might refresh the pain
come, if it’s to find my faults again.

Let’s relive the lovely days of yore,
give our love a chance once more,
Oh, I’ve been missing you of late
roaming about in a confused state.

Even if it’s to break my heart— come
and do spend time with me some,
Then turn your back and walk away,
even if you’ve to forever go away.
