Harder To Leave Poem by Hazel Mc Taggart

It is getting harder and harder,
To leave you.
Everytime I go to see you,
I never want to go away.
I put on a brave face,
When I had to leave.
The further i got from you,
The emptier i felt.
I walked about in Ayr,
I felt sad and hollow.
A lump in my throat,
I couldnt speak.
I just wanted to turn back,
And run into your arms again.
I knew I couldn't,
As that would cause trouble.
I forced myself,
To go to the train station.
As I sat down,
I put on my headphones.
To listen to music,
Which I shouldnt have.
I fell into a depression,
As the lump in my throat,
Got harder to budge.
As the train moved,
Hot tears ran down my cheeks.
Helplessly I cried,
Quietly sniffly.
As the towns passed,
My eyes dried of tears.
Had to put on a brave voice,
When I spoke to my dad.
The sparkle had gone from my eyes,
Blank expression covered my face.
I tried to think of happy thoughts,
Made me feel worse.
Next time I'm with you,
It'll be worse.
I can't help that my love is growing for you.
I wasn't going to admit,
I cried in your arms last night.
When you fell asleep,
I held you ever so tightly,
And cried.
