Thank you for setting me free.

See, I wasn't ready for you.
Always second to your lovers,
Always waiting on the sidelines,
My confidence was lacking.

I was better off giving you up
And handing you over to the other
Rather than pour my love into someone
Who still desired another.

I believed in you
I understood the conflictions.
I stuck around,
I stood true.

In return,
You have shunned me from your life,
Erased our friendship,
Tied a knot to the connection.

Even after all the trials and tribulations
I visited with you.

You've set me free,
Seeking what is
Genuinely true.

And I can't thank you enough.

I will probably not ever fully understand why the universe
Led me to this resting place
For maybe there's a higher purpose
That has not yet reached its peak for understanding

I will take the days with ease
As best as I can
Storing the memories of yesterday
Into a tiny section that's rusting away in my mind

Goodbye to the love that I cherished
Goodbye to our dreams of tomorrow
Hello to the trueness that awaits ahead
Hello to the one who desires to love me till the end

And just like that-
I'm out.
Game cancelled
You gave it up...
A voluntary forfeit,
A loss on my end
Or was it...
A loss on your end?
The lights
No longer
Light up the field.
No longer a player
In your division.
You've joined
Another team
Travelling on now.
This one's for the record.

He was leather clad hero
Always ready for action
She was a gypsy queen,
Fresh off the scene.
Together, they were unseparable
Alone, they never were again
A vision of white light emitted
from their souls
She brought happiness to him
and the same of him to her
Physically apart, their souls still touching
Together they breed happiness
in a world of non-believers.

The moment I laid eyes on you in that hallway we were connected by default...of love
Life separated us into an unbearable infatuation throughout time.
I began searching for you all those unspoken years,
And when you finally arrived, you set up shop within the boundaries of your desires.
Emotions so deep and conflicting at times it would slice open the thoughts of mere existence.
I gave up the life that I had been dealt so I could position myself within your ranking.
But you played me like a fiddle, for pure pleasure and fulfillment of self
Another gal on the sidelines being juggled into the triangle of consumer relations.
Within a flick of a switch, you decided to throw me to the curb like the trash that has already been consumed and ready for disposal.
But this time I didn't even get the proper disposal.
Left behind, in the dark, stacked, full of questions set up for the perfect trivial pursuit.

Years pass by
And our timing... still off
As one door opens, I cross through
The next one closes as soon as I walk towards you

Sitting along the other side
Arms around my knees up to my chin
I can only listen to the thoughts in my mind

Why is our timing not on point
Every single time
But yet we still keep knocking
Each wrong time

What's good for you
Is bad for me
A never ending struggle
The blind could only see

Never alone by chance
Nobody's home
Always consumed in the moment
Still searching in roam

Taken by surprise
In every situation
Finding out
The timing is still not right.

Will we ever be in sync?

One life to live
With just moments in time
Day by day
Hour by hour
Fading into the night

Weeks rack up
Grand total the years
And we've become
Part of a lifetime
Resisting for change

Memories fade
Emotions die
Hearts thicken
And love awakens
Settling the past

One life to live
Mending experience
While savoring the feeling
Understanding this is temporary
The end will result in death of us all
