The Parting

The parting 
Such loss 
Such sorrow 
These goodbyes 
These cries 
No tomorrow 

Our needs so different, 
mine changed, 
when you went 

This choking up, 
the words stuck in my throat 
This day..... 
The words 
I cannot say................ 

I wonder why 
This day.......... 
Why I try 
Be it as it may, 
it might go away 

Spirit feels its' crush 
The loss 
The first meeting 
Heart in full flush, 
its gloss 

The words you want to say......... 
but don't......... 
Not to wound deep, 
keep thoughts at bay 
But inwards, 
so hard to keep 

This impatience 
So unworthy from me 
I feel the crack 
I am fighting hard, 
to keep it back 

Years have now passed 
since that first flush 
How long can it last? 
Now that my spirit, 
feels the crush 

Chasm so wide, 
not even I can glide, 
crossover 
to the otherside 

To do something............ 
out of the ordinary 
Release this tension 
Listen to the heart ring, 
this I should mention 

Funny how the littlest things, 
make you snap 
What it brings 

The parting 
The release 
Ones' soul, 
at peace
