Unending

You don't have to whisper a word, dear
I can tell by your face this is over
your lips shake so quietly, stumbling
over those words you can't stutter

Kiss all my teardrops away here
Tell me you'll be here tomorrow
Say you'll still love me when dawn comes
I'll keep all the time I can borrow

Don't tell me this is the ending
Don't rock this boat while it's sinking
Just hold me gently and kiss me
Love me like it's not goodbye

Put on your boots and your jacket
We'll head out to old Buzzard's bay
We'll sing with the birds in the thicket
And cast all our sorrows away

If this is the last time we'll be here
Don't let me know it, don't say it
Wrap all our memories around me
And love me like its not goodbye

Good morning @paintingangels! New to your posts, I looked through them and selected this one to read.

You are clearly very artistic and write from the heart. It shows in this poem. I admire talent even if I don't (like in this case) have any of it.

Upvoted 100%. Keep posting!

You write so beautifully... this reminded me a lot to a lovely song from the eighties (yes the 80s) in chinese that it's call Dawn don't come... so beautiful... nothing to do with your poem but the idea... but it's such a pretty song I imagined the scene which is a ghost chinese fairytale.

~sigh~
