Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The World That You Would Know

I saw that look upon your face
              You thought I did not see
The disappointment in your eyes
              Clearly meant for me

A vision of the future,
              It pressed into my brain
I know that I could have my way
             And that you’d remain

You’d regret your decision
             Though one that you would own
No matter the adventure
             You’d not leave me alone

That look I saw made me sad
             Clearly meant for me
To realize what I must do
             With no guarantee

My love is strong, though I am weak
             So, I must trust, let go
To open doors for you to seek
            The world that you would know

Vijay Pandit April 19, 2018 at 9:30 AM It is hard to let go and denial kicks in..two souls invested in each other can't part easily. Like the way you ended it in acceptance...letting go..well crafted theme on life and love, Mike. Mike Gentile April 19, 2018 at 10:26 AM Thank you as always, Vijay !!!
