Loathing tomorrow, <br />Your expected departure <br />Cuts me to the quick <br />Survival is uncertain <br />Without you to protect my heart <br /> <br />I've both loved and hated you <br />For being my source <br />Of pleasure and pain <br />But I never wanted <br />To be without you <br />Not for an instant <br /> <br />Our life together is over <br />And painful as the thought may be <br />I know our parting <br />Is for the best <br /> <br />What more can I say except <br />Good-bye my lovely <br />Lily-white breast<br /><br />Kay Francis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/parting-is-not-sweet-sorrow/
