Watching an inappropriate romance
Between two who can never be one
The chats that skirt around reality
The laughter only they know
The passion in words so simple
The fact that neither of them know
All they have in the world
Is the words when they say hello
No one there sees it
Only one thing remains
They fell in love forever
In a bookstore that day
This popped into my head watching the film Dan in real life.
You looked at me
and I looked at you
and that's exactly what happened.
Because things don't always need to be complicated.
Goodbye this world of blue and green,
and its four corners I've not seen,
good people far and in between,
still searching for forgotten dreams.

Goodbye my family and friends,
unwittingly repeating trends,
the childish banter never ends,
when leaders fail to make amends.

Goodbye the things that I will miss,
the scent of grass, a loved one's kiss,
I choose to cross the great abyss,
with memories to reminisce.

So goodbye Earth before you're dead,
I'll leave this land for pastures red,
with hopes and dreams that fill my head,
I'll start a new life there instead.
The paint on the canvas
never had a chance to fully dry
before you painted on another layer.
You couldn't quite stay between the lines,
and an acrylic became a watercolor
when tears stained our so called masterpiece.
Days spent debating
whether to paint over the wreckage
or crumple the paper,
but I've never been much of an artist.
