Walk Away
BY Susan Baba
walk away
tell the earth that i could not hold you
tell the ocean that i pushed you westward
tell the wind it was
my footsteps, night after night,
that frightened the warmth from our bed
tell the sun it was my salty kiss,
my lips that spoke too loudly,
that made you thirst for something other
fill this universe with the reasons why you must go
flood its shorelines with your well crafted excuses
but
tell
me
nothing
i have heard enough already
i cannot hear your voice
without trembling again
so go,
sweet
riotous man,
find some other woman to hold on to
and leave me to write this poem in peace
Love it!
