On Your Own

Once young and naïve, I fell for your charms. And yet, now, I must abandon your arms. I will tiptoe out when the night turns black. And scurry away without looking back. Asleep with your dreams you lie unaware. And it hurts inside, because I still care. But all my hopes got scuttled in mid-stream. And there's more to love than a worn-out dream. I can't live a lie or try to pretend. Though you'll always be much more than a friend. Tomorrow you'll feel confused and alone. But you'll be better off; there, on your own. (Quatrain) 1/15/2015
