Walk, Walk Away

Walk, Walk Away
not knowing what more to say

Walk, Walk Away
if only we could erase yesterday

Walk, Walk Away
but there are memories -- those stay.

Walk, Walk Away
I knew there would be a price to pay

Walk, Walk Away
letting things settle as they may.

Walk, Walk Away
there will be future happiness --
for that is the way
much I have gained, shared
that you understand this -- I pray.

Walk, Walk Away
I am so tempted to shout after you, “Hey.”

Walk, Walk Away
instead I turn, running away

Walk, Walk Away
for there is nothing left to say.

This is something I have been reworking. I wrote the original poem in 2007. I have actually been revisiting much of my early work, thinking about where I have been going, and more importantly, where I have been.

Happy 15th Naked Sunfish-- you are an amazing place to create!
