The moment you go
you return
I need a break
complete separation
You can have some
of my time
but you cannot
take it all from me
You are hell
and nightmares
You should stay
away from me
when it is not
your turn
Give me peace
for a day
even just an hour
Do I not deserve
to escape agony
for a solitary
serene moment?
You will never
disappear forever
I know this
I accept this
But please
let me have
contentment
if only for
a moment

About what sandra thinks
Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.
Beautiful, Sandra. I bittersweet request from a heart struggling. ❤
