“Blessed”

 

“Blessed”

   

Blessed, I was blessed.

By the knowing of two women.

But had you asked,

I’d not have known it back then.

  

Placed together,

By such random events.

The kind of stuff,

No one can invent.

   

Blessed, I was blessed.

By the knowing of two women.

But had you asked,

I’d not have known it back then.

Can The Words Run Out

   

“Can The Words Run Out”

    

I want to find the perfect words.

Just say what needs be said.

I’m trying to call the words,

But they might be dead.

  

Can that happen?

Can the words run out?

Even if we scream?

Even if we shout?

    

I want to find the perfect words.

Just say what needs be said.

I’m trying to call the words,

But they might be dead.

“regret”

 

“regret”

  

I’ve said goodbye,

A thousand times.

But I feel like, 

I’m all out of rhymes

    

Is that good?

Or regretful?

Have I said goodbye so much,

It makes me forgetful?

   

I don’t want unimagined,

I don’t want to forget.

Forgetting would be a thing,

I’d regret.

luck

 

“luck”

  

Have I said enough?

Or too much?

I suppose those are the things left,

To luck.

  

I hope you know.

What’s in my heart.

Because even in my tears,

We’ll never drift apart.

    

Have I said enough?

Or too much?

I suppose those are the things left,

To luck.

Keepsakes

 

"Keepsakes"

  

I try to listen,

But even my ears fall deaf.

After all you are,

The oldest friends I have left.

  

Not that that says much,

Or that it says a lot.

But in my keepsakes,

It is something I have got.

  

So I try to listen,

But even my ears fall deaf.

After all you are,

The oldest friends I have left.

Absent Rhymes

“Absent Rhymes”

    

I’m not used to,

Saying goodbye.

When I’m not the one,

Who’s walking away.

   

I’ve done it tons of times,

But this one’s different.

Ever quiet and,

Absent rhymes.

  

I know it’s time, 

For you to return.

But I won’t lie,

And say I won’t morn.

Just remember you were adored.

The Etiquette of Goodbye

 

“The Etiquette of Goodbye”

   

I'm pretty practiced,

In the etiquette of goodbye.

I know sometimes,

We cry.

  

Been quite a while,

Since ones snuck up on me.

So funny when it’s upon you,

How much you see.

   

Still I’m very practiced, 

In the etiquette of goodbye.

So don’t mind me,

If I take a moment to cry.
