My mind is reeling somewhat overwhelmed stressed, distressed over impending progress as I step forward towards the future into an unknown tomorrow my first instinct is to retreat in the sweet oblivion of procrastination, hesitation & constant second guessing. I make lists of unfinished business then sit and watch Netflix, while the hours of the day whittle away to the coming dawn I feel a yawn coming on and know that soon I have to set aside this pen and find a way to end these lines with a suitable rhyme that continues the flow before I lie back and ponder the things I haven’t done and need to complete tomorrow.
the worst thing I can hear
The worst thing I can hear are those three words many hold so dear,Continue reading “the worst thing I can hear”
Oh they’ll wait, forever and a day, to hear them at least once in their life
but not me
those three words just mean goodbye.
It’s my last memory of you,
the last words I heard before you disappeared
and I had to accept we were through.
and that’s how I came to dread the phrase
‘I love you’.
No Ties there are no ties that bind me here no reasons that can compel me to remain the world will go on even if I’m gone and I will keep singing my own song because the ties that bind are all in my mind.
I wish I knew that
the last kiss we shared
was the last time our lips would meet
and that goodbye
'see you later'
would be the last vision
of you my eyes
would know
how fleeting life is
I took for granted
that there would be a next time
another chance
one last moment
to forever remember
alas you left me in the dark
with nothing but regret.
