“Brightening.”
I’ve sat through
the hardness
of my great loss
in darkness
in the hole that you
left in my soul
all the light of
your sweet love
that was crushed
into stardust
just faded away
and left my life
bestowed.......
With no need
for the sun
It was no longer fun
never shining
down on you
my most, precious one
and the moon
we’d enjoyed
sharing kisses
each night
now just left
me annoyed
lying sleepless
all night
without you
to hold tight......
But I crawled from
the shadows
one inch at a time
abandoning memories
that had made
you my shrine
and though I suffered pain
only I can define
my emotions all battled
until your love was benign
and now, babe I’m doing fine.
My mind’s not deciphering
all the reasons you left
and my whole world
is brightening
no longer bereft,
my hopes are recycling
my dreams are not idling
and my future invites me
to seek girls I’ve not met
So I’ll leave you this hole
that you left in my soul
you can bury the love
that you sacrificed there
and don’t bother
with mourning
there’s no need
for tears pouring
I’ve grown wings
and I’m soaring
far above your cruel
scorning....
But if you shun
enough guys
it will be you
they’re ignoring
darkness comes
without warning
and in the shadows
you’ll cry.....
if you never understand
that temporal love
is just boring
you’ll be alone
without commitment
until the day that you die.
Bye, bye…my former love
Bye bye………………….
