Avoidance of a Senseless Path

The Avoidance of

a Senseless Path.

When I 

took the i 

out of what I said

I was left

with sad,

Promises are

the prom

that doesn't always 

come true 

with corsages 

and heavenly nights,

This I knew

We weren't right

for each other, 

and so I left,

I would rather 

hurt you now,

when it is far 

too early

too matter,

then to lead you 

down avenues of love 

that only become

dead ends.

Many others would 

simply use you,

for your beauty.

I would rather

you find

the love you seek

in an honest heart.

I am not ready for

the kind of pain 

the misdirections 

of my affections 

would leave 

in your eyes.

Far less tears

will be shed,

facing my back now, 

then by backing away 

from my

face later

haunted by

the false 

love found there.

Cruel to be

kind perhaps,

but honest and fair,

Farewell my

lovely lady,

Godspeed to

your next love,

and may it be

ever true to you.
