To ReturnA 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.
