When It's Time To Go

if only we could sail away
into a blue yonder,
or navigate a safe passage
 
into a white nothingness,
together
rather than leave the other
 
to deal with all the grief
and bother
which must follow.
 
If some mighty power
could allow
it to be that simple,
 
as simple as sailing away,
we would simply sail away.
I know, I know
 
it’s not as simple as that.
I’m being simplistic.
Because I’m scared.
