Empathic Poet

At times I’ve thought to break the silence -
That lingers still between you and I;
Uncertain if I really should do that or not -
Wondering if you’ve thought of our goodbye;

To share such, as all that we shared -
Distance between us so vast and great;
How can one just simply walk away -
From a paths that crossed by fate?

Irrational words burst through emotion -
No time to think, impatient with pain;
Angry for all I was willing to risk -
Feelings to work out, of shame.

Did not you know my heart indeed -
Or was it all for the pleasure?
Reality or fear, I still do not know -
To run from an unlocked treasure.

Risque, for sure, what I suggested -
I’d not thought to loose altogether;
Indeed, I thought to know your heart -
I’ll still treasure the memory forever.
