May 2015
This hate desert was once a place where love reigned
A life shattered was whole ,clean, un-stainedΒ Β 
This skin was once smooth without a single scar
My cloudy life was a clear sky hardly lacking a star
My journey was once an inspiration that stirred faith
It was joy but now feels like death
My future was a place where ripe promise draped
Before my beautiful butterfly escaped
My past,a melancholy history book with tattered pages
Yet magically each page fixed It's crumpled edges
Right before your departure, before my spirit died
Time was a rollercoaster and we were thrilled to ride
Peace was the rising sun casting her rays through the curtains
And your embrace more comforting than mittens
Days were longer while you lingered in my head
But nights brief with your body close by on my bed
We were warm from January all year to december
Hard to believe the joy makes me cry to remember
Looking at those moments we gladly had together
I feel we deserved to flow past rapids and falls to forever
Like the Nile all way to "happily-ever-after" Delta
For an ending, think we probably deserved better
I still strongly doubt it was all but sweet true lies
Only the last hurt me among our many goodbyes
