Goodbye

I have been here before,

All too clear and in many forms.

Searching for love just for me

Balancing that with what you need.

How can I get too close to you

When I know me could tarnish you

Can I forgive myself and let the past go?

Or is unhealthy all I'll ever know?

...

You say you are okay wanting one thing

But your real desires have a different ring

This battle, this war zone of love

Heart ache, bloodshed, can one rise above?

A premature launch to explore unchartered water

Go back to safety, don't teeter totter.

Oh how the instants of time do they fly.

Subtely do we get so good at goodbye.

GMA

Some will stop and wonder,
How you could be so loved,
But all the while I knew,
You were gifted from above.
...
Some will try to recreate,
But little do they know,
God had promised His patience
Evidenced in His rainbow.
...
If you could only learn to love,
Thats all you gotta do.
Its the message that I hear,
But ever present inside you.
...
Years had passed
Such exercised restraint.
Discriminated, widowed and even starved.
But never a complaint.
...
When all had turned away,
For they dared not even look.
You said let the little children come.
And gave each one a bright new book.
...
Yahtzee queen,
3 of a kind.
A love for games,
A joyous find.
...
Oh how sweet the tangerine.
But more the lemon prepped with care.
Oh how sweet a perfect life
But more the life you chose to bear.
