Discovering Goodbye
When I see you at my doorway
so big and strong, so handsome
and know again that kissful embrace -
My heart is lost;
how can I say no?
When I hear your words of thanks,
your praise for simple food
prepared for our partaking...
My heart is lost;
how can I turn away?
When you wanted to see me "just for coffee"
which never came to be; instead I allowed
entrance of you again into my domain -
My mind is lost;
what was I thinking?
When you were offended that I dared suggest
you may be seeking lust, our only true connection -
I knew, and pursued anyway.
My self was lost;
why did I think you were changed?
When I realized that convenience is your goal,
that not giving of yourself is so easy for you,
and knew that soon you'd move along
My soul was saved;
why would I continue?
