She said goodbye feeling unsure,
He’s a good man; his heart is pure.
But she’s not ready,
To move on steady.
His eyes she’ll never forget,
This decision she might regret.
But she’s afraid; she’s been in pain,
Her heart is cured but she’ll refrain.
His arms so manly and too sublime,
To let him go will be a crime.
But she’s accustomed to being alone,
She thought she liked being on her own.
She’s a strong woman but after all,
There’s nothing that will break her fall.
To let him go; a choice unwise,
Perhaps this hurt is now my price.

Indeed a popular indecisive choice, whether to let go or hold on to something or someone. And we’re always left battling with the thought of ‘what ifs’ and ‘what nots’ in life; really liked the message behind this poem. I liked how you put them into words and how each sentences rhyme. Good work! :)

Beautiful peom and rhym is also cool. We must not lose the good people in our life, is the basic theme I this poem. While the theme of loneliness may be founded in all of your works.

Well...it seems you play with this idea a lot in your poetry..:) ....To do or not to do...At this stage of my life, he must be intriguing to even capture my interest...and yet, those seem to be the ones one cannot trust...so ....? I have no goals as far as men are concerned so I look at it as a vacation from responsibility...but should I find one I click with..things might change..
As for you...you seem to be writing cinematic poetry like a movie...each poem a vignette or scene...

Yes, actually, I do want to write more poetry like this one. They don't resemble my life, but it makes for a nice story behind it :) Thank you very much, nika. You have a special place in my heart.
Nicely composed, jaylisbeth. A lot of feeling with excellent rhyme!

Thank you, Tom. It's merely fiction, just a little short story in the form of a poem.
My stars, the night illuminates, by blackness all around...
Your eyes, my dear, through poetry, give luminescence, sight, & sound!
Strength you have, aplenty, courage, grace, & love...
Sharing of your feelings dear, enlightened from above!
Pain you have, & pain you'll know, unfortunately so...
That is my sweet, a truthful blow, that winter brings it's snow!

Such a beautiful comment, Spy :)
I love the your rhyming pattern in this one; brilliantly composed! I guess in life we have to make choices that may seem unwise at first, but later, they begin to make sense to some extent. Nevertheless, this was a great poem, as usual. Your work never fails to impress me. Well done.
