Star-Crossed Lovers

This was written about the same person who originally inspired me to write Ribbon Dancer Dreams. This was after a long series of unfortunate happenings that eventually led to our end.

I love you.

But I cannot stay.

You’ll be the death of me.

I love you.

More than I can ever say how much.

But I have to go away.

If I don’t…

God knows I won’t make it another day.

Kiss me.

Tell me you’ll always love me.

Make it hurt to walk away.

Because it’s the only thing

That will keep me going

After all of this.

It hurts now just to think

That come tomorrow I’ll be gone.

But we both knew

That this day would come.

We were never meant to be.

We were star-crossed

Right from the very beginning.

It was hard to tell at first.

But now it’s hard to miss.

And if I don’t gather my courage

And do what must be done

I’ll only wither away into nothingness.

I love you.

Now and forever.

And though it kills me to turn away,

To take those painful steps

Into the future without you,

I can’t risk killing myself.

And so many others with me.

Tell me you love me one last time.

And I’ll weep from the depths of my soul

In longing for no one but you

As I face the cold, lonely world without you.

And save two lovers

Star-crossed…from the very beginning.

Wow what an amazing poem
i can feel your pain because i feel
the very same way about whats going
on in my life right now the only difference is

letting it all go i want to stay but im happy that you do
have the courage in knowing that you need to let go
i havent found the strength yet...
Thanks for sharing cause i understand how it feels
