Reason To End Poem by Nichole Pettit

There's a reason I don't speak
That I turn the other cheek
I'm trying to keep you close
But it's getting harder
I don't want you gone
Just not so near

Oh my dear!
Don't you understand?
We have been flying high
Up, up in the sky
But, it's our time to land
Even if its not when we planned

We've played this out so long
Too long
Straining everything
And it's about to
Snap

The memories we've shared
Will always be there
But there are not many more
Of happiness
Or ones to be endured

I'm pretty sure
That you have realized
That the prize
We were wishing to have won
Cannot be attained
Our very short run
Is done
