I Must Go

If you must, then you must go.
I’m sorry I’m here to make it slow,
I know you won’t change your mind so,
Just go.

You must stay. I must leave.
It’s better this way you see?
It isn’t you it is really me.
Dont ask me to explain.
Just believe.

How can this be what’s best?
Are you sure it’s not a test?
Or are you leaving me deft,
Just like the rest?

You will see one day,
And thank me in your own way.
You will see why I can’t stay.
You will find a brighter day.

A brighter day I will find?
Perhaps a place I can unwind.
Perhaps a place not so unkind.
But I’ve no such place in mind.

She never let him see her cry.
He never let her see him cry.
She never found the reason why.
He never let this pass him by.

Elsewhere

A day in the trees,
Forgetting troubles below.
Far ahead she can see.
Vision unobstructed so,
One might wonder why,
Why would she ever come down?
Trees against a tempting sky,
Their branches make it impossible to frown.
Every comfort she could need there;
One blissful nap among the leaves.
Those troubles below need her care
In her those troubled believe.
She is not her own,
She is needed elsewhere.
The trees are not her home,
But she will seek them when time will spare.

Hurt

Pain in, and pain out.
The heart of man reflects man.
Hurt in and hurt out.

Empty Thoughts

My mind has been empty,
Empty, to remain and to be.
Around it a fog that I cannot see through.
Through which I cannot see you!
What is sight that I cannot see you?
It saps my strength I can hardly stand,
As if my feet are planted in the sand.
Gazing out to sea I hope to catch,
A lasting glimpse of you that,
Would give some solace on this shore,
As I search for bedrock, without which I can’t endure.
