The morning light has broken
Shed light on my broken heart
All while shedding hope, peace and promise

I've always heard that things will look different in the morning
How true that saying is today
A glimpse of hope, peace and promise

That glimpse being nurtured by the sunlight
Hopefully growing with the days oxygen and Vitamin D
If not just for today, perhaps eternity

Are you listening to what I say
Or rolling your eyes
You don't feel the same way
You're silent but I feel a goodbye

My tear-soaked pillow
Yours dry as a bone
Are we just that different
Or do you long to be alone

I'm dying here
I'll die there
What does it matter
Where or where

I'm chilled and in the way
Your arms the only remedy
Cold I am; cold I'll stay
Alone in this home

Perhaps you do hear me
And block out what I say
Unable to give me what I need
Ready to throw me away

Glitz and glamour
Super-size
Extra features
On your car

Buy one; Get one
Extra fries
Cheaper double
At a bar

Imagine the notion
Of more being too much
Rejected and squandered
Like an unnoticed touch

Opportunity knocks
But once they say
Will you notice or care
When we go away

We're a package deal
Together we come
Both of us hurting
As if we were one

We both want the same
To feel wanted, admired
Not empty, alone
About to expire

Waste not: want not
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
It's never too late to save us
Stop this from going South

Your happiness might lie within us
I believe ours lies in you
But first you have to accept us
Not just one, but two

The fog is lifting
I can nearly see your face
Not sure of the forecast
I'll plan accordingly in case

Never knowing what tomorrow brings
May bother some
For me the ebb and flow of life
Makes me want to come undone

As long as there is rhythm
Between us I feel alive
It's when the water's stagnant
I become the sacrificed

I do not mind the to and fro
It's movement of the living
The silence quietly kills me
Like darkness unforgiving

Ups and downs I can tolerate
Some are frightened by the teeter totter
It's the deadly stillness I cannot take
Not sure what's the matter

Some call is chaotic
I bask in its splendor
The fog is lifting
Nothing left to remember

You'll remember the storm with fear
I am frightened by the calm
The silence before the storm scares me
Less than that which exists after it's gone

What tomorrow brings I haven't a clue
It's really up to you
Caresses new or excitement everywhere
What will you do

Always waiting
Never chosen
Had hoped for a new scenario

Same ol' same ol'
Can't help but go there in my mind

I won't give up on happiness
It's not in my nature
Just know that when you miss me

It will be too late as I'll be exploring
I'm not one to sit and wait around
When I'm not wanted

I'm feeling it now, not sure how much more
I can take
If this is just a punishment

Pull back your hand
Ease up just a tad
I can take a lot I know

Your point is made
Don't dwell on the power
It's all so destructive

What tomorrow brings I sadly know
A short-lived new beginning

The push and pull of stubbornness
Feels like being set up for failure
I've tired of the game
Your paving the way - a blur

Thinking you want control
Never stepping up to the plate
You gave up some time ago
Wondering if I even rate

Heartbroken angry and hopeless
Viewed from either side
Hard to work it out
When all there is is pride

I may as well pack up my things
It's feeling all too familiar
I never win I've learned this
How not to live bitter

Easy come easy go
Safety in not trusting
In the end you'll watch me go
Can't stand to watch you rusting

I suppose you see the greener grass
You know, the one from the past
Going backwards may be your style
Not mine, this will be our last

April 6, 2014

Your silence deafens me
Your uncertainty never shocks me
I knew within months
The tangled web we weave

I have days of doubt with the hurdles
Moments of clarity for how you can make me feel
If only your head wasn't so cloudy
Of the reason you were brought my way

If I need to live a day at a time so be it
Just let's make it worth it
Make time in the present
Instead of rushing to plan the future
