Luring me with a promise of salvation The night beckons me into it's embrace I walk away from my sanctuary into the darkness, leaving no trace Never looking back over my shoulder Disappearing, like I’d never been tears dried on my swollen cheeks looking forward to my life of sin I know just where this path will lead and I have no fear as I walk that way It pains me not to make this decision and I will never rue this day I’ve taken my life into my own hands no one else will decide my fate walking away from the pain of you I pray that it’s not too late As dawn slowly lifts her morning veil to reveal the light of a brand new day I hide my smile of pleasure at having found the courage to run away |

Great poem, as always Poet deVine. Such strong feelings you have portrayed in leaving someone, sends a chill up my spine  I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion |

Poet D, this poem is EXCELLENT! it is SO well expressed. "walking away from the pain of you"... I love that line. A difficult time-beautifully expressed. take care, janet marie ...found your heart-then lost your lover...licked your wounds then run for cover... take your time...there will be another... and dont make the same mistake twice... unless you can pay the price...

Poet, This is a wonderful poem about courage to move on. In my business, I often tell my people just before going into an important meeting, "You have to be willing to walk away from the table." As long as you have an attitude like that, you're in the driver's seat. Our daily life is no different. You can't advance unless you move forward. You have to take that risk. ~Gene |

Like everyone else I am amazed at you expressed such a difficult situation so beautifully. I love the personification of the night and the dawn. "The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it." -Dylan Thomas |
