No, I can’t take you with me
Even though you are me
I have to leave you behind
To sit in a corner of my soul
No point in waiting for my return
I won’t be coming back
It will never work out
We’re too much alike
We’re opposites
You’re so needy
Always wanting to be loved
I just don’t have time for you anymore
You’ll have to learn to be alone
It will be all right
You’ve always managed up until now
I’m sorry.
Now wipe away your tears.
Lovely and honest poem. Yes, indeed, compassionate activity could mean the necessity to push a loved one away - as do all mammals in the wild. Life is really about being able to stand alone. Franz
Thank you for the look inside Sara, a deeply personal write, it seems there are a few of us going through some profound changes at the moment. Excellent!
Sara, You've allowed the readers to take a glimpse inside, and you've done it not only with style and grace but truth and honesty as well.
Stunning work Sara.
you have presented your dualism very effectivey ... it seems you seek a change within ... a desire to reinvent yourself as your mourn the passing of the old self no longer there ...

A profoundly penned, excellently presented poem to the dilemma of duality. Complex, yet entertaining--I enjoyed this peek into your soul. Well done!
