How can I forgive you when I cannot forgive myself? did I not offer you freedom? A means of escape before the stench of this farce became unbearable? Oh, no... but you refused wishing to stay until I am useless and unwanted Don't speak to me of love you are too young, too green to comprehend the intricacies of love... You ask for proof yet it burns bright upon my left hand What do you know of life? love? marriage? Did I not warn you to close your ears against the songs that I sing? Now, you've crashed into my life & must pay the price of those before you Never did you hesitate or deny me when you said you would, you could yet we both lie in ruins upon vanity's bed... my bed... I know of your lips hot, warm, & eager The long length of your strong body, tearing whimpers from my soul The power and your eyes... my undoing... Why do you hesitate? remember the chimes of gold hitting the wall? The mad search, only to feel shackled again? remember the tears, anger the MADNESS? There is no peace For I am not peaceful... Why do you stay? The fire that fascinated & captured you, might have burned just as brightly for another passing by my night, in the day- I think, I believe The melody still calls beyond the stifle snagging the unsuspecting here or there do you not understand? I am what I am & I want to be it alone I'm terrified of being it alone please, go... but, stay... -Tier{R.T.} 5/00 |

Oh, R.T., My heart goes out to you if this is autobiographical. It is so powerful, it seems it must be emotions you've experienced. "The stench of this farce" What a line! This is filled with punching lines. From the title, I was expecting a punny poem within. Well it wasn't that, and the title does fit exactly what it is...an alarming good-bye. Well done! |

Thank you, VAS, I appreciate your concern. *smiles* This work is partly fiction, partly truth as is most of my work. The feeling in my poems are always mine. The content or story in them are mine in bits and pieces, usually not enough to create an entire story. ~Tier |
