The Last Farewell

To thee I sing a song of farewell
Tis time for me to move on
These many nights together we spent
To me was the best of the best

So why? you ask, do I move on
Tis the bug called Wanderlust
And even though my heart breaks apart
It's onward I must go

Will I come back? your eyes ask me
Would love to say yes I will
But truth be known, as always will
This way I shan't pass again

So lift your glass for one more drink
And a last kiss for the road
Turn away, I'll hide my tears
As I leave this last time

Not one look, not a glance back
Just the blurry vision ahead
Even I don't know why I do what I do
And the lonely road stretches ahead

Thank you paloma66. It is so nice to hear that you enjoy my work. I must admit when I wrote this I placed myself in that position and actually felt the pulling in both directions. It is a sad poem and what makes it sadder is that the person has no control over their actions.
