Stay

When was it
that I knew.

The dawning realization
that clench in my gut
as you walked away
how I longed to call out
don't go
for fear that something might
happen and I
wouldn't see you again.

Because fate
that cruel mistress
takes what she wants;
people do leave
are taken suddenly
when you look
away.

And I only just
knew
how much
I loved you
again.

  • That is why with every chance you get, you tell the people you care about that you care, the ones you love that you love them.. even the ones who have already walked away... speak your heart, that is the only why you wont regret...
  • I have to agree with the comment below, that this is haunting. I have had that feeling that you describe, and it is not nice, not nice at all. I found this a very deep and powerful piece. Such sadness runs through this too.

    Haunting

    This is the unfortunate side effect of being somewhat distracted as a human, we tend to forget the pack as we get busy through our days, and let those close, drift... without realizing that fate... in itself is a cruel animal. Bravo

    So true Catressa! We often realize to late! Always leaving regret in its wake. Beautifully spoken from the heart my friend!
