It has to stay, by Austin Hoehn Subscribe to rss feed for Austin Hoehn

floating in the present
soaked in the past
thinking about all that could have been.
Wondering if it could have been better, if
I just stuck with him.
The missery of breaking a mans heart
is a knife in mine.
I did not want to and how could I do it again,
no way, keep on dreaming.
I will not break one more, to mend the last.
With the life he has now, and what I want for mine,
would be a futal waste of time.
I would be warn thin and he much thinner.
Time would be precious and even green dough would be
sparse.
I would have to plead insanity if I gave myself to him
again.
The life I have now,I would be giving up for four step
children and giving up having children of my own. 
It just cannot happen, 
it just will not happen.
I have to leave what we had 
where we had it...
in the past.

It's amazing what we find out about ourselves when we put it on paper. I enjoyed reading this one.
