can u smell my heartache?
does it read like cancer?
is my aura dimmed
lacking
smacking of contempt
& regrets & things to remember
threading my faults
like pearls on a string
bring me back toward the lite
the happy
the carefree
when ure mess didn’t bother me
when it didn’t swallow me
when i didn’t wallow
in his misery
surrounding me
hounding me like
a killer on the run
the last song’s been sung
too many times
already
steady ure knees
ure finally free
the thing u’ve wanted most of all
SAVE ME THE REQUIEM
the dramatic ‘last call’
we’ve stalled this enuff
the going’s been rough
& it’s only getting tougher
u’ve suffered enuff
no more
complications
expectations
variations of the rules
raising the bar
that’s risen as far as it’s willing to go
LET GO
just go
off into ure tomorrow
ure mossy better place
be free
of me
& my lunacy
u see?
it’s already better
the air is sweeter
the sleep is deeper
or is it just me?
don’t tangle me
in fantasies
& intricate weaves
of possibilities
ure impotent earth leaves
no room for flowers
the hours have been lost
& the cost
was
me
REST
EASY
NOW

if this was meant to be
then it was meant to be

over
