(20) Darling, Please Don't Stay

Don't speak.
Your face says too many words.
Don't give me that forced smile.
I've seen your attempts to look warm before.
Didn't fool me then,
certainly won't work now.
I know that you're not happy here.
There's no need to sugar-coat.
One request, please?
If I may.
I know that you're unhappy.
Darling, please don't stay.

I've tried to put my arms around, so to speak, this dilemma several times. Stuck between abandoning ship and hoping that, if it comes on, the bilge pump can save us, I have also had to give second thoughts as to the course the boat was taking before we hit rough water. I tried to address this in 'Recrudeses.' It's worse than the seven year itch.Thanks for saying it like it is. Peace at any price is expensive.

I felt the emotion as I read your poem. I have felt this emotion from a person I loved. You hit the nail on the head with your wording. Painful subject, but a wonderful poem! |
