Leaving You Poem by John deVries

As alone as lone can be
I've left you, can't you see?
Though I wouldn't t'were truly
your wish
But to not would make long
the anguish
Of selection this lonely night
& eventually bring you fright
Of me -
Who wouldn't frighten if I could
And so I leave as well I should.

I wish I could believe in Fiction
And Believe that Romance was real,
I wish I could just do so
And tell all others what I feel

(Why couldn't you hold me?
To be held
Means Not to be dropped
For another
Every Saturday Night.)
