PLEASE DON'T SAY A WORD
Please don't say a word.
When I'm back on the road
I'll think of promises I heard;
that they were lies will leave me cold,
I would rather fill my senses,
with the love which we now feel
when nerves are as taut fences
loves balm will make it seem real.
____________
Please don't say a word.
Lets fill the air we breathe,
with the sound of our heartbeat,
the thundering of a stampeding herd,
so that when we take our leave,
this moment will be our retreat
from the insane mess of life
with all its maddening strife.
_____________
Please dont say a word.
Let's rise on currents of air
on the unfurled wings of a bird,
to a world where all is fair,
to where there is no deceit
where we can forget the unjust,
of having to deceive,
all who have placed in us trust.
_______________
If you have to say something,
say it meant something.

It took me back to the moment when I broke up with my ex. We had our last moment on a beach in Dubai. We cried our eyes out and then he held me, we stood facing the sea, and that's what I told him, please don't say a word, when I'm back on the road, i'll think of promises I heard...
I haven't thought of that moment in a long time. The memory is too painful. Your poem makes me remmeber tonight. And the tears fall unchecked..
