Separate Ways

We had gone as far as we could.

Said all that we could say.

We can do no further good.

So neither of us want to stay.

Our last words are being said.

Along with a deep firm hug.

For one last time I held her head.

Feeling my heart give that familiar tug.

The times we had were very hard.

Many situations were each unfair.

Our story mapped on a crooked chart.

Painful times we both did share.

As I hold her for the last time.

Fresh warm tears stain my face.

Break-ups are horrible like the scene of a crime.

Pain, ruin, and destruction all over the place.

What was the final cause?

I’m not sure if we’ll ever know.

Many bad circumstances we tripped across.

Never finding any stability or flow.

We share heartfelt goodbyes.

And many “I’m sorries” in our embrace.

We let go, I give kiss her forehead as she cries.

I softly wipe the tears streaking down her face.

The life we shared now at an end.

And the memories of it today, are just a haze.

Once we were lovers, but now distant friends.

Parting, each we go our separate ways…

Regret

Reach me, hold me,

touch me, scold me.

Tell me I was wrong

Say it or in a song.

Let me know how to fix it

and I’ll cook, stir, and mix it.

Please don’t leave don’t say goodbye

it will hurt too much to cry.

Words “I’m sorry” can’t say enough

take them in before a rebuff.

Forgiveness is love’s mere boon

here on earth and beyond the moon.

Taking mulligans is hard to do

try taking three, one, or two.

Forget not what holds us dear

someone warm and caring near.

Pride is razor sharp and slanted

so don’t take lovest ones for granted.

Fall deep into the lonliness chasms

Nothing felt but a hear that spasms.

Think of the other and not just self,

or end up will you on a shelf,

without love and by yourself…

Goodbye, Green Eyed Girlie

Where did you go? Where have you gone

There’s been time between to reflect on

It’s been nearly 18 years since we dated

Though our love was destined ill fated

Though I never forgot you even in the end

And I hope you still saw me as a friend

Loss is hard especially with love

Saying goodbyes with a violent shove

You lost your love and then yourself

Stagnating away on a dusty shelf

Wishing relief could’ve been given

So that you could restart happily living

Your large heart and ability to care

Were your lifetime cross to bear

Your star was dimmed way to soon

With eternity now your only boon

I hope pray each night and day

A new unity with all taken away

Please forgive me I implore

For closing off my apartment door

Protecting boundaries is nothing to boast

Slamming my door when you needed me most

Now you are energy in its purest form

Traveling faster than light is your norm

Reunited with parents and lover

New infinities to discover

I look back on the time we spent

And remember and smile for what it meant

Stunning Green eyes and a warm fair face

Often brought me smiles and grace

Wondershozen and the Simpsons we shared

And I’m certain that you really cared

I truly wanted to bring you peace

To bring your painful life at ease

You are free now my friend

And your joys will never end

Goodbye adieu a fond farewell

A highlight in my life and I wish you well

More lessons in life to portend

A long peaceful rest my friend…
