Slip on by my love
leave me in the past
I am not of you
I merely love you
and who am I

Do not see me go
As I leave this room
do not see me cry
as i face my doom
Just turn away and smile

Fear not for me
For i am only past
my future is gone
molded with yours
till i am no more

No only the past am i
where i no longer wish
I was to been and gone
in the non time ago
before you were mine

So look away as i go
Blinded by the sun
walking on into the rain
And all i have my pain
Washing down a drain  


 Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Walter,
I LOVE this beautiful sad poem. Its expressions and emotions are so well shared.
I could relate to his one well, and I like the widsom of your signature quote as well
take care,janet marie

 ..."when you walked into the room...I saw their faces---
did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still...
and I felt---fascination...though I only knew you then--just casually...
then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction...
and my heart gave me away"....

walter- you have such a way with words. this was a great piece, as most of yours are.

 Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear.

love is ultimately negative
true love is ultimately destructive

all true pain is a direct effect of these two emotions

beautiful is sad, Sad is beautiful. As buddha would have said.
