My life
It's like
I'm writing
A book
Not sure
How long
What chapter
I'm on
What things
In it
Are worthy
Of what
Would be
Full chapters?
How long
Does this
Book have
Left to go?
Are there
More chapters
Or am I on my last?

Often I long for the preface

Often I forget
Why I loved her
Why I continue to long for her
In a way,
I just do it blindly
It takes a peaceful evening
But I remember the times
The memories make me happy
And then I remember her
Who she was back then
She made mistakes
She did things I didn't like
She was her own person
And I loved her for that
But she wanted to be my person
And I loved her for that
But I urged her to be herself
And now she is
She is herself, with someone else
I think of the first time she kissed me
She was herself
And she was the woman I still love
The one I will always love
And it feels good
And it hurts, at the same time
To remember why i loved her
Because I also remember why
I continue to love her

A broken smile
A compliment
Lost feelings
The sentiment
As the time slows
The tortoise goes
And we are all the weaker

Molly my dear
Though i spend my days 
In conversation, please
Remember me
Molly my love 
Don't forget me
Molly my dear

Hold your head up
You pretty girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself 
In the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit
Of what is all around you
Pretty girl

Take a good look around you
Take a good look, 
You're bound to see
That you and me
Were meant to be
With each other
Pretty girl

Hold your hand out
You pretty girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself 
In the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit
Of what is all around you
You pretty girl

Molly my dear
You have always been
My inspiration, please
Be good to me
Molly my love
Don't forget me
Molly my dear
Martha My Dear by the Beatles with a few words substituted to personalize it for myself.

I've been smiling
The entire time
I've been trying
To be happy
Then i remember
That you can't see me
I stop smiling
I sit down
Hold my head in my hands
I disintegrate
My soul dissipates
An ocean of madness
Becomes a river of sadness
Becomes my stream of consciousness
Spiraling down,
I see rock bottom
So familiar
I'm hoping i don't end up there again
But i know
I was lucky
Just to feel that way
For as long as i did

I can't
Pretend
It's not
The End
Lovers
Then friends,
Strangers
Again
Words of Skyhill

Unsung don't say it,
Touch it or replay it
It only happens once
So long to last lines
Every time's the first time
I'm off to have some fun
A cauldron of potions,
Drops of the oceans,
Couldn't solve this one
As luck would have it
I'm on the planet,
So it seems are you
Beautiful words of Tom Rosenthal, the greatest mind of our time.
