To A Lover's Plea Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Day and night. The times are missed,
From the moment they had kissed
The night was calm and sweet
This surely was a treat
Two people close as two can get
Now together watching the everlasting sunset.

A summer’s fling
How the birds like to sing
No two people could be more in love
Neither want to go
Though both know
That’s the way this must go.

Their last night together
Neither wanting to get to later.
And at last word, he says
“Baby, please, don’t leave me…”
She doesn’t want to but knows she has to…
She looks him in the eyes, asking
“Can you say that you love me? Honestly? ”
When there’s no reply, she simply says bye.

Days to weeks. Weeks to months. Months to years.
He thinks that he’s finally fought his fears.
Hoping that to a lover’s plea
She won’t take another flee
Suddenly he knows that he won’t succeed
Cuz as soon as she sees what his intentions may be
She takes her flee before she ever hears her lover’s plea.
