Fare Thee Well

 

Fare thee well fond kiss, alas you’ve left me.

Cold disregard untoward my desperate cry, my warring plea.

No kind words can you utter to lighten our sever.

No sweet remembrances will you carry of me forever.

Tis a wonder, have we ever loved so kindly?

Had I truly loved so blindly?

Over taken by heart-wrung tears, you’ve drowned me.

My only star of hope, your departure bedimmed all else I see.

Ah but would I have learned to love so rightly?

Had we never been matched so brightly.

Nor would I be so broken hearted,

Had our love been right and we never parted.

But with a bruised heart, I’ll pledge thee,

And silence its cries to not leave me.

Beloved I bid thee my last farewell.

For no longer on thoughts of you must I dwell.

Fare thee well my best, my fairest.

Fare thee well my precious dearest.

My fond love you were my most cherished treasure.

Fare thee well dearest, my greatest pleasure.

It beckons tears to come forth, but I fight it. Just want the pain to end. Splendid writing...full bodied and emotional. Though, I did struggle to see the smaller print otherwise no complaints. Thanks for entering the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

Now that's poetry! Your lines are smooth as silk and the emotion profound in the voice of love and longing. This is truly a beautiful read, bravo!
