When It's Over

Walk away they said! Walk away, He's not worth the salt Put in his bread. Walk away, you are beautiful And smart... Those are the same words He whispered...Of course, They couldn't have known. Stop looking so sad, they Cautioned, try a smile on for sie, Raise your head, dry your eyes. Sure it will hurt for a day or two Maybe three, but at least you are free. "Free to be me!" Danced around in my head, with Another chant, "Don't be afraid!" They had no way to know, I didn't Want you to go. I crave your touch! I want you too much! "Get a new start!" urged family And friends, with such urgency On the telephone. "Come out for lunch!" "Come have a drink!" "No need for you to be alone!" "Stop that crying, you're not dying!" They had no way of knowing, It just wasn't showing! C. Alvez
