Please

Just like all the rest

Understand that this is best

Step away

Tell me not that you wish to stay.

Get far away from me

Or my anger you will see.

-0-

Jesting words and broken vows

Useless whispers

Silent laughter

Testament to our shouted rows

Gentle sunlight finally streaming

On a life that sees you leaving.

-0-

Just go. After all you've done

Ugly goodbyes, a bitter parting

Still standing, a shadow on my door

Thou shalt be forgot, as I look on thee no more.

Go. Your lonely journey now is starting

Only companion guilt you can't outrun.

Writing has been a hobby of mine for years, so I'm just thrilled to be here! As for me, I love writing, dogs, and travel (only 1 continent left! Australia-.-)

    The triple acrostic?? EXCELLENT!

  • Omgggg, if I didn't see the Acrostic tag, I would have never realised it. That was so smooth! And you did 3 of them! Wow. Shakespeare of our generation for a reason!
