Two Men-Two Goodbyes (Part 2)

If you saw beams gleaming On Peavine Mountain last night It was me, between two men I love Having them both in sight I haven't been on this mountain For many years you see But through all my desperation I know I must face reality True love is everywhere For my friends spirit has been set free We never judged each other Although, sometimes mocked stupidity Over at the edge I looked down At who I thought I loved me My ex and my children But for him, there's only history I looked up to the heavens As I pray on my knees "Who can I share my secrets with now The man below, no future he sees"! A waterfall of tears began Living became a meditative state For hours I cried and screamed For the loss of loving too late I awake in the fetal position Eyes swollen like never before I'm warm and cold at the same time Body, stiff and sore I cannot see the man below My vision highly impaired Darkness still looms Lonely, hopeless, and scared Then I remembered What my friend always said, "True love will never hurt you Until that person is dead" I didn't listen as usual Now that he's gone, I understand Looking down from Peavine Mountain to the other I give my goodbye only written in the sand "Please watch over them For I too, have dreams." I made a wrong turn in life I now know what love mirage means. I put my hand high up to him Hoping to feel his touch I gaze my eyes below to the other Knowing, now, his love isn't much My waterfall of tears Turns to a tiny creek "Goodbye to you both, I have a new life to seek" As I drive down the dirt road A huge gust comes from the west Pushing my truck to the man below I'm sure it's a test! I stop for a moment Eyes piercing through swollen blur Trying to hold back driving to him He just wants what we were As a cloud covered the sun To ease the pain to my eyes I knew my friend was testing me Seeing if I'd fall for the others lies Since the man at the base of the mountain Cannot communicate as well We will never know the truth And tales we will tell Protecting my vision All the way to my front door I blow a kiss into the wind "I love you so much more" Mr. Daniel Willey Owner of Jesus Racing My Best Friend Dad Extrodinaire Man at the base of mountain My ex The Man who can unlock my heart
