Just a Note

Just a note, a sad scribbling,
From someone you can’t trust,
After a life’s mad dribbling
Of fingers through the dust.

So glad we finally have it clear,
All I will (n)ever be.
Still, ‘won’t see it as insincere,
The time you stole from me.

A pleasured hand, a pleasured heart,
I gave you all I could.
Stood tall to take your poisoned dart,
I even understood.

I let you rip my chest apart—
Let you pour in the salt.
Let you perfect it—such fine art,
I'll still swear it my fault.

But why, with naught but agony
Left to this soul to give,
Do your fingers still cling to me
Unwilling to forgive?

I’ll ever wear that searing brand,
Bear shame across the eye.
I just will never understand
Why you can’t let me die.

Lovely write, Mike. It would make a good funeral dirge. Cowboy-up, Bro. Never give away the victory of moving on.

Great image you inspire, John. Gettin up on that horse and makin for the sunrise. Maybe I use that. Everyone equates Spring with new birth, but Old Man Winter still has to die first.

Michael...Really enjoyed this. sounds like a lost love poem, but in your comment to John it sounds like you are talking about the change of seasons.

It's easy to forgive but hard as hell to forget...Paul

Take care my friend

Don't think old man winter, nor any other season, dies - they just relax the pace for awhile and allow someone else to lead the pack - while they (seasons - winter) rest up, reading for another sprint to the forefront.
