The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Recommended Posts

Posted

I rarely come up with something to write and when I do, I ALWAYS feel like I've seen it, or something like it, before - that I've, absentmindedly plagiarized it and summited it as my own. This is no different, so the usual apologies . . . just in case.

(Even with all that, I have the feeling this is a work in progress, so ANY suggestions are, more than, welcome!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't want to go.

 

Like a child pleading with mother 

to be allowed to stay and play,

just a little longer.

 

Even as the sun sets

and the light begins to fade.

 

I don't want to go.

 

I don't want to leave,

just to face the night and sleep.

 

To close my eyes.

 

To no longer see those whom I love,

their faces,

their smiles.

To no longer hear their voices,

their laughs,

their sighs.

 

To no longer be able to hold them close.

To hold them tight and tell them how much I love them,

care for them,

need them.

 

I don't want to go.

 

There is so much more I want to do.

So much more I need to do.

So much I was never able to do.

 

So much I failed to do.

 

Please,

Let me stay,

just a little while longer.

 

Though the sun is setting

and the light fades.

 

Please.

 

I don't want to go.
