Cincinnati Rhapsody

Never felt I was moving forward
‘till you left me behind
never knew I was lost
‘till I looked for the signs
never knew you cared for me
‘till you tossed all my clothes on the lawn
never considered myself a troubadour
‘till I wrote you this song
never called myself lonely
‘till you called me no more
always considered all the options
must’ve known what was in store
never asked your forgiveness,
now I can’t forgive myself
always looked for your face,
I know it’s no good for my health
never dreamed of holding you tight,
'till I stayed up all night
cried an ocean to drift upon,
saved up all my coupons,
saved up all my wondering why,
kept on believing in a lie
‘cause I never believed in being true,
never believed in believing you,
never saw my eyes so blue
‘till I started to cry

"Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey

Sweet lonliness So bitter till the time when you will find ripe lips, a soul, and a mind that you will cheerish. Then lonliness becames some void like place and you're love becomes heaven. I can relate to this poem well. Many hugs to you.
