Poem
THE FRIEND OF HENRY of MONMOUTH Soundbites for a damaged heart Surreal but so poetic Study myself as is my wont My God, I am pathetic. Words still ringing in my ears "I have to let one of you go" Well let me go, a fond farewell I knew it would be so Now phrases jumbled in my head I just won't sleep tonight Play them over and over again Now let me get this right "I believe in what is meant to be" "I can't breathe until he has gone" All seemed very plausible, When I thought there was only one. "Any obstacle can be over come" "It's you who excites me" Is that what she really said? Yes, I mistook for honesty? "I want to meet you I want to know" "Until I am truly free" Pretty Lady, pretty words, But only truth impresses me! "I feel your pain because I feel it to" "That left you and one other" Well don't let me block your way Go find your perfect lover. "It was short it was beautiful" "What I feel for you is real" Is that right? Of course it is, It was really no big deal Bravado done, forget her now I'm old enough to know But one phrase sticking in my brain "I have to let one of you go" "I have to let one of you go" she said "I have to let one of you go" I started to open up myself And she doesn't even know "I have to let one of you go" she said "I have to let one of you go" I knew deceit was in her words And I knew it weeks ago. "I have to let one of you go" she said How much clearer can it get Yet something seems unfinished here We never even met. "I have to let one of you"... Oh who cares? I don't do second place I need a love fierce and strong With truth behind pretty face So search goes on, I know she's there Both waiting for that day When stars align and eyes connect Then I'll sweep her away.
