There is no reason for this start
I did no wrong you know it's true
Now you say to me we're through
It's not been easy this past year
Many a fight, and many a tear
But through it all I say to you
My feelings real, my love is true
You say you're tired, need a break
But hun, it's our very lives at stake
So please think twice and before this move
Please give me time, and let me prove
That this is wrong, this step you make
Help me stay you from this great mistake
There's no more time for us you say
I'm sorry that I have to go this way
Your time is spent with pen in hand
Only in poems do you take a stand
Your time for me is stretched quite thin
Against this passion how can I win
How do I do battle with a foe unseen
Of this I know you think me mean
Your true passion is words that rhyme
And I come second most of the time
You are never second is my reply
This I have proven, you cannot lie
Most are poems of love for you
I write them from a heart that's true
They speak the words I cannot voice
To be this way was not my choice
My feelings need escape you see
And this is the only way for me
My love for you is beyond measure
Our lives together, my only treasure
So promise that with me you will stay
Please help us to find a middle way
I'll find more time to hold you dear
But of my poems you should never fear
They speak of sentiments from my heart
They were never meant to have us part
So please let's end this sad contention
With acceptance of our heart's intention
With these words I voice my heart
Of which you own the greater part.
