Playlist Poetry
You said your mind was spinning in circles,
and I saw tears forming a sea in your eyes.
I'm not sure what happened between us
but I wonder which of us did something wrong ~
or maybe it could be "no one is to blame"
for letting go and walking away.
"No more tears," I pled, "Go where you wanna go."
There was nothing more to say.
But I'd thought "the best was yet to come" for us.
Once, we'd shared more together than just
"one moment in time" for we had a "sweet love."
"Words of love" were said and felt in "body and soul."
I ache because there's "nothin' good about goodbye."
I don't like admitting you're "always on my mind"
and "I can't help myself" but "I can't stop loving you."
We didn't "kiss and say goodbye," so I hang on to hope
that "someday we'll be together" ~ "just the two of us."
I know there's a time to "hold on" and one for "letting go"
but I don't think I'll ever find another "someone like you."
If I live for "a thousand years," I'll still be "counting stars,"
for it's always "in the midnight hour" that I think of you ~
recalling when hand in hand, we walked in starlight.
It's then "I feel your absence" and "I whisper your name."
Night steals my slumber and dawn finds me wearily awake.
"If ever you're in my arms again," my "broken heart" will mend.
I would give "everything I own" to hear one more, "I love you."
If such reuniting is never meant to be, then torn and troubled
I shall be to live with the burden born as does the loon
whose mate has left, and she no longer trills a tender tune.
Grief is not a fleeting emotion when love reaches "the end."
If I'm to live without you, life will seem so "lost and lonely."
In solemn shadows I will dwell on "the dark side of the moon."
