The Sleep

23 Jul, 2016 03:09 PMYou asked me to stay with you on this night, too hold you, too hold you tight and make love to you throughout the night. I only asked of you to sing me one of your beautiful songs if, if the night got to be too long. But, what did you do, you lied to me, you lied to me as the day is long all night long. And now, now you would kiss what love we have for one another away, rather than hold your damnable lies at bay. Well, you have had your night and now, now I will have mine in kind. You and me, we were never meant to be. You no longer have the truths I seek, only words you hide behind do you have for me. The life you've led and the deception that is you, crumbles, crumbles as you lie there pretending to sleep. You shrug your shoulders and say what the heck, well, staying with you any longer would be like, like putting a noose around my own neck. What's that, you want me to make an exception. Well, I won't. In the past, I forgave you for many things, even the countless number of men you paraded before me night after night. I accepted the fact that you have an uncontrollable lust for men, but that, that must come to an end. I've had enough of your crazy, crazy stuff! You say you want to sleep, well, go ahead and sleep. Sleep will not bring peace to your troubled mind, it will only bide you the time you most urgently seek to hide your truths from me. Truths I need. Truths I want. Unfortunately, truths I will never have. Now you cry and tell me you want to die because I am about to say goodbye. Well, go ahead and cry, maybe, just maybe, your tears will wash away some of your lies. I loved you like no other. I tried to fill your heart up with immeasurable desire and set your ever darkening soul on fire, but my passion for you now, is spent, with no desire to relent. Goodbye my precious, while you lie there, you can watch my tears hit the floor as I walk out your door. Poem written by Jerry Harrenstein and dedicated to the woman I could no longer love.
