Go If You Must ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Your haunting eyes searched the room, trying to find a way out. I cast my glance downward so I would not see you go. For in leaving you have taken leave of your senses. At least that's what I want to believe. Maybe it won't hurt as much, Then again ..... maybe it will. I heard the door close. I knew that you were gone. It's okay if you return tonight ... I remembered to forget to lock the door. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

It's hard to not let hurt lock our heart's door... Well done, Marge! |

Suthern - It's easy to do it IF you remember the good, after the bad quits hurting. Thanks. Caroline - I'm going to take that as one of the nicest things I've ever had said about me ... (A Degree In Hearts) Thank you sooooo much. I write from the heart of listening to others and trying to lend a perspective I would have hoped I'd have taken myself, if it had been offered. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

"I remembered to forget to lock the door." Wonderful line, there. Maybe one day he'll lock it behind himself in returning. Lovely poem, but sad, too. Michael |

I think I'm following Hoot, LOL, that's the third one I'm behind her on.. Marge: Like Michael, I love that line and it's damned hard to lock the door, mine always seems to be ajar..*g* HUSG Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream... |

Denise - You are such a wonderful Passion's poet friend. Thank you. Seymour - Much thanks to you for liking this. Sven - My heart is always open. Each knock eagerly answered. Love is always welcomed within. Michael - Thank you for your comments. Greatly appreciated. Hoot - What a nice thing for you to say. My heart says thank you. RainbowGirl - Muchly appreciated praise. Bbuzz - Welcome to Passion's. Glad that you enjoyed reading this. It's a bit sad (unusual for me) but ... life offers us smiles and tears with the full knowledge that on any given day ... we may need one or the other ... perhaps both. Gunslinger - My friend, I understand. Pleased that you read it. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This must be a fantasy. No man could walk away from you, Marge, not if he's a man. |
