She looked at him <br />Her face said 'I love you' <br />He rose his head <br />His eyes said 'goodbye' <br />He spoke so softly <br />He wanted her sorrow <br />'I've packed my bags <br />I'm leaving tomorrow' <br />She begged and cried <br />He turned his back <br />'How did this come? <br />Why must you go? ' <br />'Persuade me so <br />I might stay <br />But nothing I know <br />Would you think that way' <br />'Keep on dreaming <br />You said to me <br />And here I am <br />Setting you free' <br />'I want to dream <br />To dream with you' <br />She said 'I'd love <br />This not be true' <br />He walked away <br />He closed the door <br />She sobbed so hard <br />Knees met the floor <br />Next day he left <br />He left for good <br />Not a word he said <br />Not a word he could <br />He seemed so cold <br />So cold inside <br />'To be alone and old <br />Is how I shall die' <br />Not one 'goodbye' <br />No 'I love you' <br />Instead he left <br />She thought; 'how is this true? ' <br />She remembered his touch <br />So warm and gentle <br />She remembered his kisses <br />Passionately tender <br />She opened her eyes <br />Wiped away the tears <br />She slowly stood <br />To confront her fear <br />Into the kitchen <br />And to the drawer <br />She took out the knife <br />She closed the door <br />Closing her eyes <br />She swallowed hard <br />Clutching the knife <br />Beside her heart <br />Her mind was set <br />Her head was clear <br />The knife met the floor <br />There was no more fear <br />Could she have done it? <br />Did she or not? <br />Would she have done it? <br />Is she now lost? <br />No - still alive <br />His arms flew around her <br />She held him so tight <br />Holding so tender <br />'I'm sorry' He said <br />'I reaalise now <br />I could never leave you <br />No matter what or how' <br />She smiled and forgot <br />Everything that was bad <br />They'd never lost <br />The love they once had <br />And over my shoulder <br />Every morning I see <br />The purity of their love <br />The wind carries to me <br />And now I'm burdened <br />With this heavy weight of love <br />I could never be sure <br />Why and who I should trust <br />But one thing I know <br />One thing's still true <br />I can't go on loving <br />Go on loving you <br /> <br />Friday 28th to the 29th of February 2008<br /><br />Emma Woods<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-15/
