Just needed to write something before I trudge off to work.

The water is growing cold
and I know I’ve taken too long
trying to wash away the sins
of never letting go.
But I can feel you slipping
as unstoppably as the water
running down my back.
Such a futile attack
I make against the flow of time
for it never seems to let me
hold on to what is mine.
Steam covers the mirror
but I’m glad because
I don’t want to see the emptiness
forming in my eyes
as the end is drawing nearer.
Just this once
won’t you try to be the one
who doesn’t have to leave?
Just this once
won’t you try to be the one
who doesn’t make me grieve?
I love you
But I love you enough to know
that love isn’t all it takes
to keep a relationship alive.
Romance needs so much more
in order to survive.
Water and tears run together
as brothers to the sea
I’m asking you to hold fast
and not let go of whatever it is
that made you fall for me.
I just want this to last
because I can’t face the day
if you aren’t waiting at the end
and I can’t chase the wind
if it doesn’t lead your way.
Thanks for reading.

Oh this is so sad. Begging one to hold on to what it was that brought them to you in the first place. Don't loose sight. I can relate to this well these days.

Poems that flow from the heart have a tendency to flow on the page as well. ~ and you managed to do just that in the moments before you rushed off to work!

The most memorable lines (out of several!) for me are the following:

"Water and tears run together
as brothers to the sea"

~ very 'poetical'!

Thank you all so very much. It seems like when I write in a hurry and don't worry so much about the words as how I feel, I create my best or most effective work. I'm glad you enjoyed.
