Make Plans to Leave Her

By: Akasha Sierra Hiler

I wish you were ready
but I know you're not
I can hear it in your words
but I can't see it in your heart.

If you were ready
you would make plans to leave
reasure me of your feelings
and make sure I still believe.

Instead, we talk about everything else
other than the situation at hand (her)
and it never ends up being dealt with
then conversation starts again.

And as you stare into my eyes and mesmerize my soul,
you make me feel like an angel
losing all control,

and, although I know for the first time,
because of you, my heart will ache
I give it to you freely,
don't scatter the pieces...
...Please, be gentle when it breaks.
