“Let me be,” I cried
I cannot again
Succumb to ride

Weary of body
Fragmented of mind
“I wouldn’t survive”

Allow me the dignity
Of not trying
Of not giving in
As I know where it would end
I can no longer take
That kind of pain

So take your good intentions
And your kind deeds
I am beyond redemption
Leave me be

Yep, Susan....sometimes we just want to be left alone,
don't we?

Thank you for the replies.  

I wonder why it is some people wait until it's too late?  Sigh...their loss.  

Hugs to you both

Ron,

If I allowed myself to fall for his "charm" again I would not survive the self-loathing.
