My tongue is heavy <br />With words I have left unspoken <br />I want to tell you <br />But my heart thinks I would be mistaken <br /> <br />I don't know how long I'll be gone <br />So I want to say goodbye <br />But you would never let me leave <br />No matter how hard I tried <br /> <br />I almost began to tell you <br />But you warned me not to say <br />Because beyond tonight <br />No longer can I stay <br /> <br />I know you won't understand <br />My longing for this place <br />It is what is meant to be <br />So my destiny I will chase <br /> <br />Tonight I am leaving <br />For only God knows how long <br />But the distant place I am going <br />Is where I feel I belong<br /><br />Emma Rose Kessler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-longer-can-i-stay/
