Slip Away Poems - Poems about Slip Away

A Statement May Be a Question

He slipped away? Or did they take him?
Stranger things have happened, have they not?
Why do I ask so many questions of myself?
Or am I asking questions of him?

I could make statements.
He went off of his own accord.
This is one of his stranger happenings.
I have to ask so many questions.

So, this could be a question.
Or is

Premium MemberI don't leave all at once, but slip away like ink running off old pages

I don't leave all at once, but slip away like ink running off old pages,
Like a song you swore you'd never forget, until you do.
It starts small—your name becomes foreign on my lips,
Your messages remain unread, not out of anger, but from a strange helplessness.
You don't ask why, maybe you don't notice, or maybe you

Premium MemberThe bittersweet days of our spring love slowly slip away

The bittersweet days of our spring love slowly slip away,
Like a silver river winding under the night sky,
They drift gently, like rose petals from a lost dream,
And I immerse myself in the memory of nights when we burned with stars in our hearts,
The sky spun in a hypnotic dance, we, two infinities lost in light

When Did It All Slip Away

When did it all slip away,
How did the world and life I
Remembered simply go
Astray?
Friends that shared memories with me are now all gone ,
Leaving me here to sit and wonder why was 
 I left to carry on.
Carry on to what and why I do not know,
And left me standing here a stranger 
In a

I let it slip away.
With every fleeting day,
The countdown ticks,
and the woodworm picks.
 
I let it slip away.
We deplete into decay.
A heartbreak needs a fix.
Sticky roll pops claim extra licks.

I let it slip away.
Vowed to repay them that day.
I value how you play your tricks.
Yet, what kicks, it sticks!

I let it slip away.
Bear your wings and

I let it slip away . . .
a beautiful beautiful day.

I’d looked out my window and seen
blue sky and grass so green.

Then back in bed I lay
as I slept the morning away.

At last I awoke but I had
my chores!  I felt so bad.

Why in bed did I stay
and not go outside just to play?

By

I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away

I remember the days we had together
Now our relationship weathers
I wish I had just one more minute
but I let it slip away
 

Come back for I miss you 
but I can't bring myself to renew
when I look into your eyes
my heart lies
I miss you all to much
I regret letting it slip

I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away
Off into the blue
Over the horizon
Flying out of view

Feeling kinda sad 
I turned away and left 
The closing of a chapter 
Leaving me bereft 

I find endings very tough 
So I avoid them if I can 
But I must farewell this fantasy 
Goodbye... retirement plan

I let it slip away beyond my perceptive reach,
like the dislodged grain of the memory sand.
The dragging ebb of discontent carried it far 
into the dismal depth of somber sea of oblivion.

The splendorous realm of my fervent heart
twinkled with the tinsels of the argentine night, 
where your glamour gleamed with enticing tinge, 
suffused with the

Premium MemberI Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away, that final day-
with judging soon to come, it waited there.
This prize I'd captured in my special way
went flying instantly into the air.

I'd held it in my heart for a long time-
until my mind reworked it, as should be.
My interaction led my soul to climb
beyond the vision that had come to

I let it slip away.
	Regretful till this day,
	I kept your love at bay
	and let it slip away.

I had your undying love and true devotion,
passionate romance in arduous motion.
I was so careless with my own emotion
	…I let it slip away

I pushed you away at each chance
choosing an unassuming stance.
Because of my adverse circumstance
	…I let it slip
