If I could have
I would have
But I couldn't
And I can't
And I'm *sorry

Of the many girls i thought loved me
she stands out boldly.

She knew how to weave
herself into elusive

raise the bar
just when i thought i reached her

quietly recede
when i picked up speed

use my gift
to give me a lift

remind what was hers
was in my purse

convey
her generosity was a day away.

As i recall
she took my all
and left me a wreck.

She was my Miss Take.

Friends*  may  leave
But  its  great  to  still    ­  cherish  the  good  
times   shared  with  them

Not  all  are  here  to   stay ,
Some  only  have  a   short  role  to  play  in  
our   lives ;
Let  us  appreciate  
even   those .

I mangled my tooth,
     Munching on the moon,
     Whilst the war raged forth.

I smirked something, “sinister,”
     Later Tuesday; lights on,
     And Ginny’d lay waiting.

I’d shower guilt,
     And a 2:00 AM excuse, now
     Wednesday, so clogged the drain.

I’d know defeat,
     Come morning, hair, every strand swept,
     Nigh and not a piece left for me.
