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…
