Leaving it up to you aug 18, 2024

  

a bitter Blake once stated

 to say it is to lose it

and so I leave it up to you

 if distance is the thing

so be it

unrequited

this mutual understanding

of where we all stand

 though I will say it

only to myself and think it

even if I never act

knowing it is there is enough

 like something precious

we keep private

to keep it safe

so we do not risk losing it

the way Blake states he did

 a buried treasure even

 Blackbeard might never dig up

we all need to keep it in our lives

 and keep it distant and safe

 maybe all we can expect

 but if you want more

 if you want me to dig it up

I will gladly do so

 but I'll leave it up to you
