If ever you decide to go
Do so, ever so gently
There is no point in delaying the inevitable
Let it be done kindly
If there is nothing to salvage
Don’t linger indefinitely
Don’t leave me when I am weak and frail
I don’t want to beg pitifully
I know how to fight for what is mine
But if you are going, you were never mine completely.
Very beautifully worded poem, expressing true to life sentiments.

guard your heart – fierce strong womanly heart – if they want to go don’t hold them back, we will destroy our own souls.

Yes, those who want to go, they will go…it is better to salvage own heart and soul. Always love your insight.
