Let it Be.

Posted April 22, 2008

I watch you watching me.
Those intense eyes staring into mine.
I look away, walk away.

I try to stay away, for fear of my own wanting.

You plead for me.
But I‘m not yours, not anymore.

I try to avoid those eyes of yours, unsuccessful, of course.

A hand on my shoulder.
I’m forced to speak.
Just tell me what you want, I say.
Once again, you plead.

My heart stops as I mouth the words.
It was done long ago.
Can’t you just admit it to yourself?

I walk away, for fear of reminiscing.

A tear falls.
I hear the splash behind me.
It tears my heart in two.

Can’t I keep from caring?
Can’t he understand?

It’s been done.

The words spoken.
The actions taken.
The hearts broken.

Let it be.

Don’t beg for my forgiveness, for I hate the word.
Don’t look at me with those eyes, for I can’t look away.
Don’t speak with those lips, for the sound makes me quiver.
Don’t touch me with those hands, for the feel I can’t resist.

Can’t it be the last time?
Can’t I just forget?
