Another Untold Story

Posted Oct 4, 2017 · 21 lines · 4 critiques

I would have left
if I don’t love you,
after the beginning,
before the music ended,
even in your highest of high,
and on your days of lowest low,
more so on your most confusing times.

I should have done more,
than wait late into the night
or cooked your favorite dish,
should have watched you in your sleep
and played a mistress in your dreams
should have been more than you expected,
else I should have left before I felt like this..

Read the rest of the poem Show less

I could have just walked away,
but I could not just leave,
I could not just run away,
‘coz I know I love you more,
the broken glasses are still on the floor,
I’ll pick up the scattered pieces
And turn the page to another untold story.

"Sometimes words need to stay unspoken. As sure as every season will make its appearance and its exit some love should never be spoken but is well known to the one it is directed. Another lovely one."
