THE SADDEST MOMENT

Berthold Lippel

This is the saddest moment

When you have nothing more to tell me,

and you say..."I should go..."

It is time

You have had enough of me.

The cord between us is frayed, then snapped

Of course, polite as i am, I agree:

"Yes, you have to go".

It is a curse to be polite

It stifles the shout "Don't!".

What can I do, but say good bye

With a small choked voice.

I hang up, and listen for a long time

Until your voice fades in  my head

And i feel alone again.

Still, we talked.

I am so demanding

The child craves dessert

Not a diet.

    My friend,

    The following is a quick one,inspired by your poem and my cooking( I have some friends coming over for the football match - Yes,I do watch Football🏆)

    In the cellar of your Life
    Surrounded by wheel nuts and engine oil
    Make room for some thirsty poems
    About mournful hearts and our mortal coil.

    Based on the info that I have for you. I hope you like it...
    You do like it.😯😁
