Walk Away

Nothing hurts as much
as watching the back of your head
as you walk away,
knowing I will see you again,
but not in this way
and that every time your green,
jaded eyes turn my way
the smoldering will be pain
and not longing.
This love will wither
choked off at it's root
it will fall away like
leaves in the fall,
casualty of a bitter frost
and every year
when the wind brings the
promise of Autumn
I'll remember what it felt like
to watch you walk away.
