LEAVE.



Know that means I'll have to leave, sometimes even a pot leaks and a stick snaps. The thunder has clapped...See it's time we left... we're not enemies but we know something about space and boundaries, face to maintain peace... This time I mean it but still I want you to be happier but it can't be. Please don't think I'm suffering from delusions of grandeur but what is grand here is that we need to grow up. It's time for a change and some give a thought to blame games, headaches... Red flags, I see the pirate flags in the deep sea; Carribbean at least if not those in my dreams, the ones not named. So I don't know what will happen but I certainly wanted us to last then alas! I can't hold it any longer. It's not me, it's something in me that wants you to be free, please don't cling or bleed, free from all this wreckage, perfectly useless, uselessly perfect. Court of order, yes your honour, no objection,it's constitution... Case sealed, fly overseas, don't put me under siege, I might sieze the opportunity to throw you back to dungeons with promises to keep you company, arguments to keep you same, documents for evidence. I wish I could give you this luggage at once but it's hard, probably because you won't fathom a poet's language even if you're one.
