For those who stand before me,
And for those who fell behind.
May good fortune shine down upon you,
May you taste the sweetest wine.
Then one day we will meet again,
And share a laugh or two.
Until that day let’s drink some more,
I heard the next round is on you.

Starry skies of old,
Meets new dawn of sunshine.
Moonlight emerges,
Only for a moment.
Then slowly fades,
Into the darkness of space.
Only to find others like it,
In the same space and time.

The words I've written,
The words I say,
Bring me comfort on a rainy day.
Your presence felt,
Your presence lost,
I'd try to hold you at any cost.
As the sky falls to the ground,
And no one hears the mournful sound,
I shall go.

I once was a drunkard of love,
Now I am hung over and angry off the feeling.
Dry mouthed,
Head throbbing from every sound.
No more will I drink from the poisoned cup,
Taste the once sweet now bitter nectar.
The passion for the want of love I had,
I have spilled every drop on the floor.

Cloudy day rolls through,
Light drizzle of rain.
Eyes closed to feel the gentle mist,
Sense the cooling droplets.
Silent intensity in the breeze,
Chilling to the bone.
Cold winter day,
Bitter winter night.
Once green grass,
Becomes a blank white canvas.
Deep breathe of sharp coldness,
Exhale the warmth of a spring day.

Befuddled,
Tongue Twisted,
The things I become when I talk to you.
In hope of finding the right combination,
The exact thing to get you to smile.
Flabbergasted,
Twitterpated,
Feeling something I haven't truly felt in years.
Butterflies in my stomach,
Twisting and knotting trying to contain something.
Fighting myself,
Unsure what to do,
When all I can do is think of you.
Alex Caldwell Mar 2010
I have cast you like a stone,
From my life once again.
The burden of fighting for you,
Wanting you has been lifted from my shoulders.
I wanted nothing more to be with you,
Now I want nothing more to be rid of you.
You have tormented me,
Tortured me.
Left me broken,
Left me for dead.
You managed to weasel back in to my life,
All on my own stupidity I let you in.
I want you gone,
Not only now but forever.
