You took your love away
I'm trying my best to hold on
I know that if I let you go
You will forever be gone
I cannot accept that scenario
A life without you next to me
Would be a life I couldn't live
A nightmare i never want to see
How could I even try to live
Without you being in my life
The only thing I did right in life
Was simply making you my wife
I know there has to be something
I don't want our marriage to end
I know your heart is broken now
And it will take time for it to mend
I love you with all my heart and soul
I'm tired of being the reason you cry
Please give me my last last chance
Before you say your last goodbye
We part ways on the path we shared,
finding it hard to say goodbye.
I hope to always hold your memory;
you were a shadow at my side.
Through thick and thin, the journey was long,
and we both learned what we needed to know.
We stood together through the struggle,
but now it’s time to let it go.
The road is wide, the air is clear,
we walk our separate ways today
untethered, light, and finally,
carefree.
The Bystander
Looking in from afar,
I witness your undoing.
It is a quiet, wretched thing—
a state of affairs I can no longer mend.
You move without a mirror,
blind to the jagged edges of your choices,
unaware of how the world recoils.
Your actions have grown sharp and ugly.
I try to scrub you from my mind,
but you are a ghost in my periphery,
repeating the same hollow patterns
without a flicker of remorse.
You are digging a well with your own hands.
When you finally fall in,
I will not climb down to find you.
I will simply drop flowers into the dark
and walk away.
Goodbye.
All the tape and bandages aren't going to mend this broken heart ~
When you abandoned me without goodbye you tore my world apart.

Well, here we are,
dear canine friend.
The Reaper is racing
towards us,
but I won't say Goodbye.
I'll say Thank You.
Thank you, Sandy,
for being the best friend
that I’ll ever know.
Thank you, Sandy,
for trotting
towards me
during my
loneliest hours.
You were
my confidante,
my guardian,
and my playmate.
Please know that
as I turn away
for the final time,
I’m not turning away
from you.
Our time together
is finished.
There is no sense
in sobbing
over the inevitable.
Then why do I
tremble
as I lumber away?
Why is my soul
coated
with sorrow?
I hear the Reaper
coming, dear girl.
He’ll take my heart
with you.
the look in her eyes
she was lost I could see it
she still held my hand
We’ve been good friends for a long time.
Now we must shake hands, then goodbye.
Try to stay in touch with each other.
Our farewell will flow like a river.
My buddy, good luck, and take care.
Gazing at our sad eyes, don’t despair!
Remember our fun times of friendship
As we meet and part on our long trip.
Take a deep breath, relax, and smile
Later, the new friends will identify
Even farewell symbolizes sadness,
But knowing people brings us happiness.
Our work positions are temporary
Most friendships will fade finally
The fork in the road, we are facing
It’s time to smile for handshaking
Though you invited me after my begging,
You soon after had begun your shedding
Of soul from body that was suffering.
They saw you sat up, almost death-defying.
Your older sister told me you really loved me,
I know you did, but you could never fully see
The reasons why I will always simply be
A woman who just wants to live a life so free.
I saw you, lifeless, cold, I came to say bye.
I stood before you, secretly wondering why,
(Why now, why does it feel too soon) I cry.
Even when gone, your little smile is unshy.
I know everyone you knew loved you so,
But I loved you most, I'm unsure I can let go.
I feel I'm not special, our bond was though.
Your love for me always helped me grow.
Death can alter
Death can change anything at the altar
Death can deter
Death can damage the liver and the motor
Death is powerful
Death is really awful
Death is painless for the deceased
Death can destroy mums and lilies
Death can change schedules
Death kills bookworms, nerds and fools
Death can. Death can change everything
Under the moon. Death can change anything
Death can
Death can easily kick the can.

Goodbye autumn and every one of your warm coloured days
You're leaving us nostalgic and in a tiny bit of a haze
We'll miss the tingling sensation of your playful sunrays
Already there's dimming of the tree-covered hills that looked ablaze
Yes, most of all we'll miss your scenery deserving of much praise

I don't want to fight
My voice is not being heard
I should disappear
It's clear that you love me
But i don't understand why
After the things I have done
And all times I made you cry
I've let you down many times
And put those tears on your face
I hate myself for creating you pain
Along with all your disgrace
I cannot fathom how you felt
Each time your heart was broke
The pain and shame you hid
Behind depressions dark cloak
You stood up for me each time
Even knowing I was in the wrong
Your love must unconditional
And it's grace I do not belong
You deserve someone who's worthy
And who isn't the reason you to cry
This is difficult because I love you
But it time that we say goodbye
With these rings, we said, "I do,"
Never planned to play the fool.
Too young to grasp loves weight,
Too blind to heed its rules.
We were D—drifting, never devoted.
We were I—insensible, inconsiderate.
We broke our Vows, splintered trust.
We were O—reckless, outrageous.
We were R—tangled, bitter root.
We were C—careless, never committed.
We were E—estranged, unraveling fast.
A word we swore would never be ours
became the silent sentence:
Divorce.
Too immature for love’s responsibility,
we fled into goodbye.
My heart is full of pain
Because I made you cry
I promised I never would
That turned out to be a lie
I'm grateful I couldn't see you
Or the pain on your face
I'll count that as a blessing
That God showed me grace
Everything I said just worsened
And I could feel my heart breaking
Now you are having doubts about
The path this marriage is taking
I knew those words would hurt you
They never should have left my head
I'd give anything I could to take back
Each and every word that I said
Those words, they were like venom
Into the phone, then your heart
The only thing that they accomplished
Was tearing this marriage apart
Will this love that we share
Ever again feel the same way?
Will you trust me with your heart
The same as you did before today?
a fateful timing
truth doubts - uncertain future ~
I leave you tongue-tied
