"Do It Now"

      "Do It Now"

If the time, should ever come,

That this love of ours, is done;

Let it be now... at loves start,

Overwhelm me, with a broken heart.

For if you stay, and love for years,

Bringing gladness, amongst the tears,

And then finally...decide to go,

Life would end, that I know.

Hurt me now, if that is your plan.

Before love grows, let me ban,

All future plans ,that I might know,

After love's death, all hurts will seem so...

Small and tawdry, to ever be compared,

With love's bitter pain as it lie...dying there.

A honest write dear friend.
"And then finally...decide to go,
Life would end, that I know."
The above question is one. All of us will ask one day. Life is a teacher. Sometime more bad than good. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry and thoughts.

Thank you for your insight John. Kathie

I love your work and you are welcome Kathie.

Beautifully captured Kathie. Better the bullet of a quick death than death by a thousand cuts. Spoken from a bruised heart that can't begin to hope that this time it may be different.

Nemo, today's youngsters fall into love so fast they do not even know the difference between love and lust. Kathie

As Tennyson said, ''Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.' Could be difficult to reconcile in the midst of a sad relationship. Good write, Kathie.

Thank you Ted, but two way love is what people seek. Kathie

Nicely written. I we have not love for any one in our heart, we do. We should not keep anyone in darkness.

I wonder how many couples hold on for years and years just going through the motions.
Sad isn't it.

Paul. I would say too many. Some do it for the kids, others because they cannot afford to leave, some stay but cheat whenever they get the chance. Kathie
