To Return

To Return

A Poem by Laura Lynn Close

Goldenrod returned this autumn, people converse and share
What they think. I wish I could say whatever it is I can
That I ought, if there is something I ought.  Weakness,
I wished that he could pick me up and take me to his
castle. I would not be cast away then.  He said he
couldn't help, but God is here anyway if there is one,
And the earth still revolves, takes its course spinning.

I do not need another half and I shall never marry,
I will be sad and wonder why so many repeated my words
back to me.  I did not repeat words so much, I wanted
to learn a language.  I did not speak to everyone.  
Going somewhere, going away from here what would it mean?
He did not want me to speak to him. I remember wanting.
I do not know what I will do or how I will manage.

I asked for his love.  I wanted so badly to be with someone.
Without him, I will not love another.  I want the best for him.
If I am not that, what can I do?  He can be with another.
He can love her and I will have no part of it.  It is just him.
He will not love me, and I cannot ask him to, why should I?
There is nothing so great about me, above others. He 
never said he loved me, and I can only ask him to be happy.
