Jo Bien Poet Verse

Sediment

sometimes to hold it together
it's better to leave it alone
to forgive and forget the heartache
and learn from what is known

can you file it all away?
or hide it under a rug
pretend it doesn't really matter
cast off with another shrug

wasn't a love worth saving
the time a total waste
when the glass is finally empty
with a bitter aftertaste

what becomes of the sediment
when to the bottom it falls
only to be stirred up
when these thoughts recall

I can live with all the doubt
I can live with what you missed
I can live without your love
and other things on the list

it changes my direction
a path you already took
you found what you were seeking
not so much as a second look
