A Cry Out

Confidence.
Weak,
Strong,
Shattered.

I couldn't believe it.
I said something,
I meant,
Indirectly.

Watching you move,
Dancing with you,
It made it so easy,
With so much overhead.

But what was it,
You could leave,
It was so easy,
What was it!?!

I was believing,
And I was forgetting,
I had to leave,
You took me somewhere else.

But you had to remind,
Remind me about the time.

You have no idea,
The impact you made,
Before,
While,
And after.

You shut me down,
You shut me out.

I felt it all.
I fell down.

You kicked me,
You finished me.
You might as well,
Beat me into the grave.

I still have so many,
Many questions,
About you,
...About me.

If it wasn't for the time?

But it must be tough,
To keep all the guys off,
Of you.
Why the hell do you need me.

I'm nothing,
A candy bar,
A convenience store.

Take a bite,
Enjoy the moment,
Throw away the wrapper.

I wish you got to see,
More of who I am.
What I could be,
For you.

But apparently,
Myself,
My actions or words,
Aren't worth,
What they were made upon.

I've grown cold,
Grown into pieces,
Of my old self.

I hope I never see you.
I'm afraid I would say,
So much. Too much.
If I haven't already.

I can't believe it.

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
