I Will Not Wait At Sunset

I Will Not Wait At Sunset (author unknown)

 

I will not wait for you at sunset.

That romantic, auburn colored, artifact

will not hold me in place

nor call out your name

or leave any notes behind.

I will hoist my emotions upon my back

and step faithfully down the road.

The ripping, tearing sound.... will be me

breaking free of your essence,

and the way it enveloped my amorous existence.

At some point, after crossing the horizon.

I will have time to think of you.

Perhaps even shed a tear.

I will shiver in thought

of the charred remains of bridges

never to be crossed again.

This road will carry no reminders of you.

No signs to tell where I am going

or how to get there.

Each step enhancing senses and sensations

dulled by love in its finale.

And I....

will refuse to remember what you meant to me.

No....

I will not wait for you at sunset.
