when I go away

it is easy to walk away
from a great many things

from people
and places
from sights unseen
and the conflicts of love

going nowhere
             so fast

my cruelty is my compassion.
I embrace leaving them behind.
but they don't understand.

there's no need for anguish,
no need to look back -just stepping
off stage until the next show.

and how this touches me -
to have know you and walked
away before it was lost,
to never speak again and only
have those memories to bind us.

a waste
a personal waste

would it matter if you were
able to say
good-bye?

would it have made a difference?
