Breaking Up
You're breaking up,
a once strong signal
is being hacked by a light eroding time.
Pixels are blinking in and out,
a memory thread is fraying,
your features and voice disappearing,
peeling away from a past picture
once framed by a familiar clarity.
An entropy has led to a forgetfulness,
a loss I can no longer patch together.
I was once so confident
of your enduring

Breaking up is hard to do
You broke my heart and walked out of my life,
I didn’t know loving you would come with a price.
Now your gone and I can't think straight,
You consume all of me, frozen in time alone I wait.
What is it that keeps me here feeling this way,
Why can't I be like you

Breaking Up Is Tough
They say that breaking up is tough,
now I know that it’s true,
one day we’ll go separate ways,
and all the blame’s on you.
Maybe we shared some good times,
up and down all those years,
but baby far too often now,
you’ve reduced me to tears.
Some nights you’ve kept me awake,
until the early hours,
but never brought me breakfast,
or even bought

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Follow you in my mind it’s true
Concentration makes me blue
Always am I chained to regret
The loss of your beauty
An uncertain depth
I play in my mind a doll of you
Hug and squeeze like little girls do
And when I can see the unbleard world
The loss I incurred is echoed and heard
My stillness does wrath unseen
My dream a

Breaking Up
One of the very
Sad moment in life Is to
Break up with partner
While you still loving
Each others. I 've assisted
Many couples who
Could make suicide
Because of breaking up their
Relationships when
They were still Loving
Each others and forced to break
Up by situation.

Breaking Up With Debbie
She has the ‘screws’.
Her hips are 'creaky'
her leg is 'playing up.’
I yell into her good ear.
"Nice Morning Freda!"
"Gout." She says,
still following a conversation in her head.
"I don't even drink!"
I know this is a stretch
for I am her secret `pusher'.
"I'm going out later, can I get you anything?"
She looks directly at me at last.
She has been

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Don - they tell me you're leaving
I can't believe it's true,
that we’ll get to live without you.
You’ll go away - govern-mentally,
after all this pain and misery.
When you go - I won’t miss you,
You never said a thing that was true.
Remember when - you hoaxed the virus fight.
What an idiot - you never got it right.
Trump

I Got Your Letter As School Started
----------
Thirty tear-splashed pages
My response with runny ink
Not us anymore, don't you think?
Fire consumed it in a blink
You just left me!
Okay, you had a chance
You could not pass up
For our romance
I get that but...
I said someday I'd marry you
You threw it right in my face
So I'm the non-Greek Catholic geek?
Well, stick this in your Orthodox socks
That's

The Bands Breaking Up
smashed the drums
wrings sweating hands
boom...boom
trumpet puffed cheeks
notorious red
toot...toot...toot
band sways
feet tapping
spit sprays
silver flute
fame’s up front
poetically sweet
audience yawns; cymbals
crash
dull drums rev it up

Beckoning
Beckoning
by Michael R. Burch
Yesterday the wind whispered my name
while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane
lay heavy on mine.
And yesterday
I saw the way
the wind caressed tall pines
in forests laced by glinting streams
and thick with tangled vines.
And though she reached
for me in her sleep,
the touch I felt was Time's.
This is another one of my early

Fin De Partie
Fin de Partie. End of party.
Fin. The end. The end.
Littered streets, for it was hearty;
First rapture to dead-end.
You were the first, the last, Cherie-
The drumbeat of my heart.
Now the sun's like a cherry,
And shadows will soon start!
Fin de partie. Now the party's done;
And fervor and joys just past.
The fun we had-second

You'Re Gonna Think of Me
Deny it all you want to
Pretend you're happy being free
But when your mind begins to wander
You're gonna think of me
Oh you may find another
Thinner, pretty face
But she'll never measure up to me
I could never be replaced
I'll consume your every thought
I'll run within your veins
Your heart will stop
Be short of breath
When you hear my name
Your mouth
