one is hopeful of a message to arrive
telling of how in the Polar Vortex he did survive

twill ease one's mind to hear good news from Tennessee
which will allay my days of anxiety

i am getting rid of you
and i am doing it in such a way that you think it is your idea.
this way i have not the guilt

i am so terribly relieved
but i am also becoming so terribly sad
this is what i want
this is what i need
this is what we both need
but for some reason i still don't know why i'm doing it

you are winding me down now
letting me down easy
with your last constructive words
of how good this conversation has been
for better or for worse
like we are recalling our vows
as we are breaking them
and i have nothing to say after you thank me
nothing long winded
nothing regretful
you are thanking me for making you fall out of love

i do not think that is such a thing one should be thanked for

Gazing through the vibrant lillies planted among me
As i drift into eternity
Of restless thoughts.
A curse you have bestowed upon me
An essence of mystery between the lines
Of unspoken lies hiding beneath your eyes.

I want passion.
I want adventure.
I want a little danger.
I want out of the ordinary.

he so delighted
in exploring her garden's
bloom of loveliness
