Isn't it hot in here? Pull open the curtains.
Better yet, open all of the doors.
I cannot breathe. Tonight, I'm certain
that I'll never return,
but I'm wrong, of course.

I won't say "good-bye," I don't believe in parting, --
it is never easy for me to endure.
You are, as always,
calm and cold hearted.
Tonight, I'm brittle and insecure.

Handle with care,
wrap my heart in your warm embrace,
caress me with the adjectives of the final sentences.
Silence... and yet, I can see on your face
a hint of that sweet and despondent tenderness.

Say no more, I can see it clearly!
With your downcast eyes, hold me near you, anchored.
Don't you see how I'm stumbling,
sad and wearied,
with the weight of affection around my ankle?

Make it quick. Why extend the anguish?
Tell me you'll miss me and kiss me
farewell.
Do not look at me, turn away and vanish.
Leave me entangled in the snare of your spell.

Life will surely return to normal.
Believe me! there's nothing that time can't tame,
and my name on the page of your daily journal
will dissolve on the tongue of the heart's ardent flame...

Oh! Awesome! I loved this!
The last stanza was probably my fav...
I liked how this kinda had the feeling of a story to it. I thought it was very well done. Glad to see another post from you!!

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

Alas... parting is such sweet sorrow...  
This was an awesome piece, master.
"Life will surely return to normal.
Believe me! there's nothing that time can't tame,
and my name on the page of your daily journal
will dissolve on the tongue of the heart's ardent flame..."
Those were by far my favorite lines.  "dissolve on the toungue of the heart's ardent flame."  Wow... those words are a VERY strong way to end a powerful piece.  I loved the way you began also... usually, beginning with a question a weak start in my mind, but you did that very well.  Nicely done.  I really enjoyed this... these words and vaguely familiar with my own thoughts.  You put them into words marvelously... nice work!
