Unforgiven

While morning 's light creeps silently
through the ivory curtain,
She awakens to the sound
of a red winged blackbird,
singing a haunting song of promises to come.
She reaches over and entwines
her fingers through his,
and contentedly listens to him breathe.
And as she watches him sleep, so blissfully unaware,
she bites her lip and wipes a way a single
tear.,
She quickly dresses and lets her self out,
Without so much as a glance behind her,
Someday it will be different,
she tells herself through tear stained eyes.
She'd almost convinced herself..
That this time she would stay.

There will be a certain time that come in life, and is coming soon , that we Dont walk away, But Endure, and thats when love light has a chance to burn and grow, as you learn to to stay, instead of go, Then and only then, will the Splendor of God Plan, Makes sence.... Why miss it, you need to enjoy it! Next time, so be Sure of yourself, and Live and Share as God had Planned.

Thank you for a beautiful poem. It takes all of us to that moment "to leave or not to leave".

Heart wants to stay and mind screams to run.
Thank you. I will write about that special moment too, when I will pick up the words to describe it.
