Don't cry on my shoulder don't weep in my ear although I might listen you've nothing I'll hear. Don't wait for the sunrise just get up and go if you leave quietly then I won't know. Don't leave like a thief but hurry away. it brings me relief that you've gone today. Don't cry on my shoulder don't break my heart more my soul is so damaged I won't live if it's tore. If you are going, don't talk simply go. I'd rather you walk than grieve my heart so. Run to the arms of another it's what you will do but don't cry on my shoulder to courage renew. Don't say that it's over I don't want to know if you've found another then you'd better go. Don't cry on my shoulder don't weep at my door saying your love will last evermore. Don't cry on my shoulder don't give me that lie just leave very quickly and Kiss me goodbye. |

Oh, ouch, you can feel the hurt. And I know that the writer is not really wanting him to go, just practicing self defense. Awesome poem, glad I found it. Catalinamoon Practice can make anything perfect...even grief can become an art. Merrit Malloy |

and Kiss me goodbye perhaps the most telling line lovely poem Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

I enjoyed the pace of this piece. It helped to draw out the emotion of the reader. I could feel each stanza as I read. Well done. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... William Butler Yeats |
