Released

My not-so-unrequited love

Like a butterfly trapped in the cage of my mind

I release your today and always

Fly away, Fly away

Always You

Picking petals off of flowers

Hoping to make you stay

Making school yard wishes

Hoping for a change

I know I shouldn’t want you

But yet I always do

Picking petals off of flowers

My wish is always you

The Promise

I promise not to love you

And that is what I intend to do

I promise not to love the way you make me smile when I see your face

I promise not to love how you make me laugh with just a few silly words

I promise not to love your energy that puts me at ease

I promise not to love your heart which holds my heart

I promise…..Someday

Songs for Mavourneen

Songs for Mavourneen to whom I will never sing

For she’s been laid to rest, so it seems

No solemn ceremony, no somber goodbye

Just a subtle reminder of a time gone by

Reality and Fantasy- paths finally crossed

Now I’m left alone to feel the loss

She never really felt it from the start

How I loved her and she broke my heart

Now she’s gone and will never hear

The songs for Mavourneen I hold so dear

Missing

Seeking approval from those who can’t commend

Missing a dream that’s teasing my head

Making myself crazy

Drinking myself happy

Morning Ramblings

Have you ever received actual confirmation that it is and was all in your head? The feelings you have or had were simply just your feelings. The other person’s mind was else where. Thinking of someone else, missing someone else, loving someone else.

You were there as someone who flattered them, made them feel special in the moment so they kept you around. When you expressed your disappointment with their behavior, they seemed shocked as if they told you nothing before, demonstrated nothing before. The relationship- non-existent.

So if this was all one sided and all in my head, why won’t you go away? Please, just go away.

Human

Proud I am out of my own head

Moving on and not giving in

Cordial but not falling

Thankful you are staying away

As I am only human

My Mind

I’m saying goodbye to you today

Although there will be no announcement, no gesture

Just my mind letting go

I’ve held onto a feeling for way too long

Thought I could attain it again, feel it again, experience it again

But to no avail

My absence will only be felt by me

The emptiness felt only by me

But this will bring me closure, which is so needed

I hold onto people for longer than I should

I idealize them more than I should

I’m working on that now

So if I seem distant, it is self preservation

Maybe you won’t even notice but I’ll be winning

Winning the battle within myself to stop caring for you, thinking of you, missing you

Finally telling you goodbye, if only in my mind

She Said Yes

Virtuous patience bears such prodigious gifts

To come upon such perfection- Rare

Apprehension’s presence no longer felt for the truth of heart prevailed

Felicity, like a lady-in-waiting, attends to the once dispirited soul

The Fool

I am a fool who took words for promises

Ignoring actions as they spoke truths I wasn’t ready to hear

My mind- a dam that has become unleashed

Words flowing, uncontained

Spewing onto deaf ears

My Silent Roar

Your words are vacuous and meaningless

Empty- like you

They will no longer trickle between my ears

Playing with my mind and heart

My ears- impenetrable

My mouth- silent

I hope that silence roars

Clocks

In love with a feeling I couldn’t make stay

Made enemies with myself

Trust - a commodity I can no longer afford

Humiliation- a visitor who has overstayed his welcome

Watching hands on a clock as my therapy

Tick tock, tick tock

Words Left Unspoken

Have you ever missed someone but could not bring yourself to tell them?

The fear of rejection is just too strong.

Just a simple text saying, “I miss u.”

So you don’t tell them and they don’t tell you, and you live in fear and regret.

But damn, how comfortable it feels to wrap yourself up in a blanket of fear and regret because it is all you have known for so long and it feels safe.

I miss talking to you without feeling uncomfortable. It just feels so weird and awkward when we are around one another. I miss receiving a random text from you almost daily. Now the responses seem so forced. I miss the look that you had in your eyes when you saw me. You don’t even care to look me in the eye when we see one another. I feel invisible. I miss the butterflies of being near you. I miss hugging you tightly before the hugs turned side ways and half hearted. All of this is gone and I miss you- the old you.

But I will never tell you these words. You will never tell me those words. We will continue to go along with this new status quo and drifting further and further away.

“I miss u.”

Foolish is the heart that loves, for you are blinded from the truth

My eyes see clearly now

My heart, no longer your fool
