Leaving A Place

"She only wanted to leave a place
where she no longer wanted to stay."

There came a day for me when I realized
she wasn't my enemy, she didn't purposely
steal my heart, just to run away.
She only wanted to leave a place
where she no longer wanted to stay.
But before she did, she took the time
to share a portion of her life with mine,
and in those precious times, she became a
woman that I couldn't help but to adore.
Everyday when I awoke I always wanted more.
Wanting so much more of this woman I adored.

JamesLee, you have a big heart; very sensitive write.

PS: I put a link to the real Rothko Chapel if you'd like to see the reflection pool from my poem.

Sometimes the portion we get is enough. And sometimes it just has to be enough. I like the way you worded this one. Nicely done.
