Poor Me Routine
We spoke of you today my dear
of times now long since passed
ah how quickly wound the years
the memories how vivid they last
I find myself romanticizing
the journey of our past
and wonder what the now would hold
had not your days slipped passed
It's funny how ones world can change
as if we'd ever been
the person that we see right now
from the view perceived back then
Some would say a true love story
never knows an end
yet change the cycle of a life
holding on then releasing again
So strange the way we second guess
the courses which we take
knowing still we can't undo
all the choices that we made
I sat a spell and talked to God
with offerings of tears
feeling robbed they turned to sobs
for those I miss no longer near
How I hate these emotional days
when your soul feels like still black water
feeling the bitter coursing through my veins
trying desperately to leave it at the alter
Enough of this poor me routine
questioning all the why's
I thank The Lord for the blessings received
and dress such grace in a smile
:-)
