Why Do You Linger On ?

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 5, 2024

Why do you linger on,

 when I ask you to go?

In my thoughts and my heart,

You remain so.


The pain that you may feel

Will give you just tears.

And I hate to say it,but,

You are realising my fears.


I am not the person for you

To cherish and to love.

You are forcing me,

To peek outside my alcove.


Let me be, hidden away

From the hurt and rejection.

Love for me has been pain

And hurt and more of a fiction.


Yet you linger on, each day

Hoping to change my mind.

Please do realise, What I was

 looking for, I did already find.


You are not the one for me

I am so sorry about this,

Your feelings I understand 

But me with you is not bliss.


Yet you linger on, 

When I ask you to go.

I am just a river,

Let me just flow.
