My Heart Weeps

My heart weeps with the very thought,

Tears pool to drown its beat,

Fissures tear the pain wide open,

As hours turn up the heat.

**

My chest aches at the upcoming goodbye,

My fear intensified for not one but two,

Not knowing the future possibilities hits home hard,

Understanding it could be the end is due.

**

How to block off the rearview mirror,

Letting go as I drive the highway,

Leaving to follow dreams that I must do solo,

Doesn’t let out all I wish I could say.

**

The weeks cascade into the now,

I wish to crawl into your heart and forever hide,

I fear I cannot leave you behind,

Wanting nothing more than to keep you by my side.

**

I’m trying to trust you’ll do just fine,

You’re certainly confident enough for us both,

But not knowing what tomorrow will bring,

Kills me in a way I absolutely loath.

**

I’ve not been alone for so very long,

Because you’ve always been tethered to my soul,

To make the decision to leave you here,

Leaves my heart with a gaping hole.

**

I will drive away soon with tears flowing,

Filled with determination to make the most of each day,

I will live the rest of my life to its fullest,

But that heartbreaking goodbye is the hardest word I’ll say.
