It Was Only Me

“It Was Only Me”

  

Our meeting was,

Just a matter of happenstance.

A handle mistakenly misunderstood.

 

Six blocks away,

How does that happen?

Do I want to come over,

Of course I do.

 

We talk for hours, 

Ending in each others arms,

Skin against skin,

I thought we both desired again.

 

You said you did,

But it was only me.

It was only years later,

It was only me,

Who didn’t want it to end.

It was only me.

In Any Way

 

“In Any Way” 

    

Out running errands,

When I ran into someone we used to know.

I entertained my curiosity, 

Wondering how this might go.

  

They asked if I missed you,

Stunned, I didn’t know what to say.

I didn’t know how to answer, 

The words blurred while the music played.

  

I simply replied,

There was never anyone to miss.

In confusion they wondered.

How I could be like this.

 

So before they could even ask,

It was simple, I knew what to say.

There was never anyone to miss. 

Nobody was ever there,

In any way.

Your Game

 

  

  

“Your Game”

 

Met you quick.

Fell in love quicker.

I think that makes the pain,

So much thicker.

 

By all rights I should be over,

All of this by now.

Broken, shattered hollowed out.

But it doesn’t help even if I shout.

  

From an early age I knew,

I knew I should never fall into love.

Still I did,

Did I believe that I was above?

 

Was I conceited?

Or just taking the chance?

I was so taken in,

Paralyzed by the oh so simple dance.

 

So, I rolled the dice,

I suppose there is no shame.

After all these years I still wonder,

What was your game?

Broken

  

“Broken”

 

I feel so lost.

That I fear I am broken.

And there are no words,

That can be spoken.

 

I am the one,

Who became lost?

In that moment,

I never realized the cost.

 

Broken,

Does not,

Speak much to,

Unbreakable.

 

I guess I am not,

That.

3 Days

  

 “3 Days”

 

A friend of a friend,

Had a baby that died 3 days later.

How do you recover?

How do you mourn just 3 days later?

  

I mean how do you mourn,

A loved one you never had a chance to know.

How do you move passed that?

With no memories to show.

  

How do we do that?

It is not right it is not fair.

I lack the words,

And who am I to even dare.

 

To put words,

To such a tragedy.

Who do I think I am.

I just had to get it out of me.

 

It is not even my place,

To offer the words.

It is so sad.

3 days, too bad we cannot,

Cross worlds.

Just One Year

 

   

“Just One Year”

 

It’s been one year,

Today.

I’m not even sure if that’s,

Okay to say.

 

Today was harsh,

It was not okay.

If you sum it all up,

It comes down to.

Today.

 

Look back and just one year,

Doesn’t seem very far.

Tomorrow can be quite different,

From where you are.

 

Just one year,

Yes, I hid my tears.

Month One Day Six

 

   

  

“Month One Day Six”

 

I cannot say for you,

But it makes me sick.

Just thinking of,

Month one day six.

 

I am still struggling,

To find some sort of fix.

We, all of us did not pay the boatman,

On the River Styx.

 

You horrendously wretched,

Left over,

Hounded over soulless,

Pile if sticks.

 

Oh no,

We all did not give you the coins,

To cross The River Styx.
