Well what about me,
I know what to do,
Don't forget that I'm here
And I've lived through this too.

Please let me speak my mind
Don't hinder what I say
Because every time you do this
I fly farther away

Well what about me,
I know how to act
A simple part I'm playing
Just one I know by fact

Well what about me,
Oh, I know how to speak
My words are my power-
You take them, I'm weak.

I baked a cake,
For my boyfriend's  sake,
He never came,
His excuses always lame.
So I took it to old people's home,
With eager smiles we were welcomed.
The chocolate chip cake with biscuit,
Was a hit,
The oldies loved it.
The smiles and joy on their faces,
Soothed my disheartened  heart in several places.
There are many in this world who need me and appreciate my effort,
I decided to let go of the relationship,
The other could not keep.

there'll always be
one more reason
to never
let you go
always <3
Perhaps it's finally time to let you go
but, god,
it hurts so much to cut you out.
I never knew how hard it would be to cut you out of my life, even though I know that you're never going to change.

Why mourn day after day,

if the pain will never go away.

Why hold on to something that's gone?

Why can't they just move on.


Let go of all the things you had.

If you did that, I'd be glad.

So don't stay inside and cry.

You need to learn how to say goodbye.


Think of others who care.

They are happy and have plenty to spare.

Forget me. I have never mattered.

No one wants their hearts to be shattered.


So learn how to let go.

It's pretty simple you know.

I'll leave my hat
My shoes
And My scarf
That you adored

I'll leave my house
My rings
And my jewelry.
That I always wore.

I'll leave my paintings
That you said were dumb.
I'll leave all my little charms
That I said were good luck.

You can have it all

But I'm taking my heart,
Out the door

Cause that
Is mine
And mine
To take

You can't have my love
Not anymore

So Farewell
Farwell to you

And to me
The one you once knew.

The thoughts
They flow like an open road
Never do i know
Where they are going to go.

My heart,
Reaching out and soaked

Me,
I’ve wrote and i’ve wrote

But i’m not sure
What i can say to save us
Anymore.

My arms are locked up
I'm waiting for the tide to come in,
For the same wave to wash me out
and slam me back against that edged rock
Again and again.

How many times before i realize;
I can't swim in this.
This water is poison.

My lungs are being filled with water
And I'm gasping for air
Hoping the love I thought we had
Would be there
To save us
From this awful nightmare.

I said, Crying in despair.

What a sappy ending
But life isn't fair.

It hurts more to hold on,
Than to let go.
So I'll Just keep on walkin',
Down that road.
When it's time to let go

lieve me say you know
nothing of the way things work, as elements of all
things
working together,
y'know,

As God, in Asgard, possibly dependent on
POV
he, God Almighty.

speaks, he says,

shhhh,
wait here and see.
ah, yes. I am a poet knowing et and re greting the layers of lies that must be peeled, like cataracts.
