POETICALLY NAKED

Walk Away

Once I knew you,
and twice you left,
any more
and you're just like the rest.
Waiting for something
who or what I just don't know
but here I am standing
my heart wrapped in a bow.
I hear them laughing
I feel it from here ,
gone are the days
I held on to the fear..
forever I'll wander,
never knowing where I go,
just another foot I'll tow ...
if you ever crave me
and would like to hold me still...
Just come out and find me
maybe I'll stop for the thrill....
once I once loved you ...
twice I let you go...
now I'm harden over
too hard to let you know...
face to face we are standing
but I keep my head up high
and as I walk
I keep a walking
just so you know
I meant my good bye
