June 13th, 2023 Hopefully prophetic
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
As I step forward I look back for one last time I wish you all the best
What I mistook for your warmth I now realize was actually a freez… You found me, built me up Then destroyed me You claim to care about me
The longer I wait for you The more I prolong this pain The longer you wait to speak The more distant I become The more I heal
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
My vision clouds with these tears Tears made from our memories Maybe one day the they will stop Or I won’t feel them anymore
What I do Was for you Now it’s me Found self love But I still
Were your reasons true? Were they for me or for you? Was there really nothing we could… I wonder. Why was it easier to hide?
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
The only fitting punishment The Gods could conspire To make us pay for our transgressions against the… You stole the stars from their sky
Because you brighten my day Even when the sun’s shining When I’m feeling down & fret You’re my silver lining Your warmth is like a buffet
A sudden Good-Bye Is not a finality But a paused Hello
