I have always been the one asking for more time

it was always the other person saying goodbye.

You were different. Now as a friend you are the same… I’m sad.


I say "Howdy Doodie Doo. How are you?"

You say "goodbye. I've got to fly"

But it's his own mind...

so what can he do?

He just accepts his mind,

half-heartedly minds his heart

and carries on slightly morning for the death of an imagined self

See you later
alligator

I hope you sleep well
And wake not for a bell

Until the morning comes

Actions speak louder then words
Words speak louder then laughs
Laughs speak louder then smiles
Yet that that speaks loudest of all makes not a sound

~ Love

Tomorrow:
It was ever meant to be

Singing:
I thought I sung a song of you and me

You:
you held my heart and then you slew. You gazed on as my life fled from me

Baba black sheep have you any wool?
Go sir go sir, my life’s all full

I spent it on him
And I spent it on her

And I spent it on them
and on they and on we

No sir no sir I never had time
To spend on myself
And my life’s no longer mine

night oh night
lull me to sleep
pull the leaves down over my eyes
and out of my mind let me keep

sleep let me clearly see
out of this darkness let me crawl
transport me towards the light
sleep. please down and cover with your shawl
This would be my goodnight poem I normally write, but tonight is not a goodnight so this is my night poem

Night loves. I hope you had an amazing day
