Gentle One

by Megan - Aries

Oh, Gentle One, softest hands
on my cheeks, thumbs catching
the tears of anguish that fall at
their own will;
Don't leave before you tell me why
your leaving. Don't go until
you've told me the tale that sends
you away from me;
Eyes I can see myself in, mirrors
that reflect the goodness you see...
there is no one like you on this planet
or any other...that I knew you...
that I held you...that I kissed you
that I was allowed to exist beside you...
If I could thank your creator, I would
But instead I can only watch
you leave.

Reason for writing:

    Speaks for itself.
