Leaving Poem by Didith Marcelo

By the time you leave me
I was hurt.

But the pained whisper
saying 'that's what it is!
When you love learn that it will be hurt.'

I realized its true my heart was very open
And the pain came in lies upon.

By the time you leave me
I cried, sobbing like a baby.
But the tears whispered
Saying 'it's okay to cry, just go on,
So that it will ease the pain.

I realized its true,
It's better to cry
Then to hide what is inside.
Because time will come
It may burst out.

It is like a fume on fire
That you can grab
But it will never stay for long
On to your palm.

By the time you left,
I learned a lesson.

And that lesson whispered on me,
Saying 'now you won,
You overcome the pain,
Because you love and learn
How to accept and your self whisper itself

'Only God can tell when and who....'
