Say something….
Category: saying goodbye
Truth doesn’t lie
The sun has broken another horizon and the light doesn’t play favorites I’ve been up all night, once again discerning just what is really best I know I seem different somehow maybe because I’m wearing sadness And yes, that’s shadows in my eyes that I just can’t seem to hide, anymore It’s why it’s so hard to face you now that alone makes me, feel like crying Words just seem so hard to find in moments like this here- this time But words will never change the time of doing what has to feel like is right Me- being a storm of loves disaster instead of your, welcome sunshine Girl, I think we really always knew somehow deep on our hearts mind And we were just playing along filling up empty time in our lives I think we’ve both learned hard what love is, and this really isn’t it Mending those pieces of ourselves as we slowing relearned, acceptance But- I just have to save my heart from making another broken mess Saying goodbye, always hurts but I know, right now it’ll hurt less So- I leave you here alone today instead of waiting, any longer, girl until you do it, in some… tomorrow Poet of the Light © 2020
Conventional magic
When forever, slips away In love and everything We’re left, as a broken mess And nothing more to believe in My heart has been shattered A time or two, and too often When all that really mattered Left me behind, unapologetically Since when does love require Loving self first, above all others And since when does forever Only last a little more than a day I find it eerie these days, we only see Love as blame…for broken dreams Poet of the Light © 2020
Noteworthy
I’ll pick up these little pieces Of what’s left of myself Head off in another direction No compass to guide my way My heart will wander aimlessly Nothing new really for me No place to go, no one to see I’ve resigned, you won’t come I can’t live a fools dream And now I know, I can let you go You have your needs, I have mine Or repeating our acts of insanity In a day or two, you won’t notice My absence hurting your life And you’ll remain right on track Chasing after what you never had But I will miss you- everyday Lost conversations and laughters That filled up the silence we have Maybe, another time, another place We could’ve been something… special Poet of the Light © 2020
Distinctable
In my heart, I knew not to expect much I knew this journey- would be arduous By choice, by necessity, by blinding faith But being found by a pure love often is I knew each step would seem impossible Maybe until I fell into her arms- literally But still, I had to take it, I had find out After all, what was their to lose except More of the same unwanted nothingness That littered all my daily hours anyway? How would being loveless any different Than accepting every faux replacement? Many will suggest and normalize settling For nearly anything much less: sabotage The taxing road would test my integrity Even if only I- myself would really know Whether or not, I maintained my dignity I’ve fallen pray many of times in hopes Being subjected to dishonesty, repeatedly Battered emotionally, subjected to more Ridicule, temptation for the more lessor More conventional way of daily living But I’ve persevered by the grace of God Most times within my own set confusion To have nothing to offer but love- itself Would take great deal of courage of trust I must admit, what real journey compares? Can you image the woman who does dare? It's not for the faint of heart, that for sure But, being found by a prayer is… priceless Poet of the Light © 2020
Failings
I’m sorry, so very sorry I couldn’t be all those things You wanted me to be, and still be me Can you really look me in eyes; And tell me you’re surprised? Know it hurts me just as painfully Even to think that I somehow I’ve let you down, in both our minds I’m sorry, so very sorry But my heart can’t forgive You wanting someone else And still expecting me to hang around Just in case you change your mind I’m still breaking down inside No- I’m sorry, so very sorry I can’t live up to your dark expectation My heart won’t let that happen And over time this pain might subside But I won't change my mind Baby- this is goodbye I’m sorry, so very sorry Of how love needs to be...for me Poet of the Light © 2020
Natural selection
I’m trying to hold on But these winds are so strong I hope you can protect me Soon They say it's all an illusion But they’re not listening I’m falling Oh no- Cynical reactions Never could save anyone I’m at mercy of the breeze Help me It looks frightening This giant mirror below On this water, I’m alone Spinning Current situations bleak My life tree lost me I’m floating too fast I’m soaked Rolling beneath the surface Ripples are now churning I can’t hear myself think Drowning It's almost over One final plunge The underworld is ugly I’m...gone Poet of the Light © 2020
Spinning wheels
A thousand why’s Run through my mind It's a storm I can’t control I know, even if I tried I step back from the picture Trying to understand better But all I find are more questions And never any real answers Why oh why- like a song Confusion goes on I want to run to nowhere But nowhere is already right here I hear you talking But I no longer understand Its as if, I heard the same thing Far too many times to listen You never seem to hear me I see your eyes rolling So I roll mine and shake my head This just ain’t right, no more This is a paradise for the insane And I no longer want to remain So don’t be a fool And ask me, why oh why, baby You drove me crazy Now you’re driving me away And all I can feel now is I’m happy and...I’m free Poet of the Light © 2020

When to say goodbye…
Could’ve been’s
Some things aren’t worth Keeping and better off to be Leaving well enough alone Like wildfires out of control Let time fall flat on its face So I’ll just start by drowning Those little bitty memories All their following aspirations Of us and everything- love A homage of sorts for losers Then I’ll burn our bridges Being left behind wrecked In billowing smoke and dust From unused passion I had Once conjured up about us After which I’ll slip away Like loves refugee I’ll flee That imaginary you and me In the middle of some night While the moon is sleeping On a pile of cloudy pillows And rain pouring down hard Washing away all my tracks Until I find some place that No one you’ve ever known Knows me or even my name I’ll end all my rhymes and Their reasons to exist too Maybe then I’ll forget...you Poet of the Light © 2020
