Simple

One simple sentence,

makes despair shiver

through my bones

and tears to

emerge.

Precisely,

four little words

accomplish that.

knowing simple words

can impact one'a mind

enormously,

imagine

what obscure thoughts

would achieve.

Yet,

these little words

express more than

what appears.

Beneath the surface

questions begin to arise,

like:

Till when?

How long?

and Why not?

Perfect moments

ruined with a 

simple sentence 

"I've got to go"

But what lies underneath?
