A life of dull conveniency Deprives sentencing, not leniency A flat-line of complacency Wields an eternal conformity Could I ever not forgive Then live the life, I want to live? Could I ever walk away And leave tomorrow’s yesterdays? A continuing appeasement Creates feelings of bereavement A self-induced imprisonment Handcuffs Cupid for his arraignment Could I ever turn my back To grab a hold of what I lack? Could I ever start once more To forget about what was before? A never draining emptiness Overflows the days with bitterness A cold shoulder from happiness Freezes fire of all hopefulness Could I ever find what’s lost And shun the counting of the cost? Could I ever set myself free In order to live how I want to be? "I have gone away. The bed is cold and empty. Trees bend their boughs toward the earth. And nighttime birds float as black faces."

This reads so much more polite than the note I just wrote to my husband.  But then, he wouldn't read this, cause um, it RHYMES.  Maybe if I called it the Goodbye Lyric, and sang it to him, he might give it a go, though. But naw, it would prolly just end up being his next karoake performance.  *shaking my head and laughing* Just when I am feeling all alone in the world, I find me mirrored yet again at Pip. I always enjoy your offerings.  |
