Karen Croft Poet Free verse

Upon Leaving

I slowly slip out from your
warm bed unnoticed
stretching here and there
in search of my clothes in the dark
trying not to wake you
from your slumber
then i whisper in your ear
that i love you, but i must leave
for I've overstayed my welcome
in your arms
as your love for me has faded
with the passing of the time
our secret romance
coming to an end
and i refuse to believe it
was all in my head

L Milton Hankins February 9, 2022 at 1:38 PM Good one, karen. I suspect it's a typo in line two, but it's perfectly clear what you are saying. It was brave of you, terribly brave, to whisper in his ear. How sad; how poignant. No, actually, it was not ALL in your head. It appears that he was OUT of HIS!
