My mind is filled
With a multitude of
What ifs
I wish them away
I wish them to go
I scream and shout
No more!
Leave me alone
Leave me in peace
It is what the hell it
Is!
My mind is filled
With a multitude of
What ifs
I wish them away
I wish them to go
I scream and shout
No more!
Leave me alone
Leave me in peace
It is what the hell it
Is!
If people were robots
I could make you
Love me
I could make you
Kiss me
Over and
Over again
But people are not robots
And I cannot make you
Love me
Or kiss me
Over and
Over again
I cannot make you
Greet me
Or smile at me
Or laugh with me
Or talk to me
You are not a robot and
You have
Your own
Free will
I promised to love
My whole life through
I promised to care
Only ever for you
I promised with all
The love in my heart
That we would never
Be broken apart
And so I wait alone
While you are away
For your quick return
Please hurry, I pray!
(I read this poem to my daughter and she said it is cheesy. Hmm. Cheesy)
What is it about her
That made him choose?
Is it the way she walks
Or talks or shades her hair
Is it the way she smiles
Or laughs or has no care
Is it her confidence
Her energy
Her life or spirit
Is it her eyes so brown
Exuberant, alive
What is it about her
I wish I knew!
What is it about me
That made me lose?
I cup the fragile vessel
Of my beating heart
Between soft hands
And feel the gentle
Rhythmic pulse
We were lovers
We were friends
We laughed and
Also, we cried
When I mourned
Your arms comforted
Your gentle hands drying
The tears of my eyes
And then we said goodbye
With a final kiss I walked away
And when I see you now
We are nothing more than
Strangers passing by
I navigated the maze
Of my emotions
To be led
By love
To you
Words are fading
With every pill I take
Calmness overtakes
The constant dull angst
And carries my poetry
Away
Being needed is a helpful therapy. It brings purpose to our lives, and a reason for living. There are a few people that need me in their lives. My daughter and I were chatting and I mentioned to her, if anything happens to you or your brother, I will not be able to live, I cannot live without either of you. And she replied, very wisely, yes you can, because your dad loves you and needs you. I said to her, your father would look after my dad. She replied by saying, no, your dad doesn’t need my father, he needs You. 💝
