No Hard Feelings

It wasn’t our time

Nor was it the place

But I’ll never forget

Your sweet embrace

The Reference

When it is

I see

Her next

I’ll be sure

To let

Her know

How you’re

Passionate,

Funny

And kind

And how

It hurts

To let

You go

Too Late Now

I don’t know how it’s happened

And I can’t even tell you why

But, it seems, I’ve grown old

In love with the wrong fucking guy

Set In Stone

Neither of

If the life
we chose

Will work out
for the best

Not Yet, Anyway

It will soon be three years

Without him here

And I know time is supposed to fly

But it feels like just yesterday

That he was my mainstay

So I’m not ready for some other guy

For I’m

And now you’re apart

You have been left

With wounds that smart

Will you still love me

When I am old and grey

Will you still want me

To touch you in that way

Will you still need me

Or will you just find someone else

The Promise That Can’t Be Kept

He knew right then

As he watched

The tear fall from her eye

It was best to forget

And to just let

His feelings for her die

Silent Conversations

Not yet

she says,
as she makes her
way to the door

But when,

at the floor

Not yet

as her head
is slowly bowed

But when,
how soon
he asks
will we
be allowed?
