Masterpieces: Literary Workshop

Never let go…I said,
As he stood there so beautiful,
his hands nestled warmly in mine.
He just looked at me curiously,
as though he didn’t understand,
his look, one too too kind.

Never let go… I said,
I begged of him so pitifully,
my voice on the edge of a plea.
He wore confusion as a mask,
eyes wrestling with my own,
And then stepped into me.

Never let go… I said,
in a broken pleading whisper,
my need begging for reply.
He finaly spoke my name,
as though asking a question,
I almost wanted him to just lie.

Never let go! ... I screamed,
and he gripped my shoulders,
twas three words I wanted him to say.
In a moment of knowing I shuddered,
I knew his heart couldn’t help it,
and I turned and walked away.

    Awww Loramae – I just ache for the truth of this -“in a moment of knowing I shuddered…” and then and there some piece of your heart is just ripped out! And we are the ones who cannot really let go then – even though we’ve walked away – because dreams die hard if they die at all. I so love this my friend – it is so honest, so real and so evocative for me.
