Final Goodbye

I can never get over parting from you
It always makes me forever blue
I could never, ever know what to do
When you know that my life revolves around you.

When you are gone my life is hell
When you are gone I live in a shell
My love, you are my refuge from the pain
You keep me calm and safe and sane.

I don't want us to part again
I don't want to feel the pain again
I want to be with you forevermore
I want it to be like it was before

Let's hope and pray that tomorrow brings
Togetherness, memories and special things
Let's hope that one day, when the time is right
Our love will be whole and one and tight

Let's hope that this is our final adieu
Because without you life is subdued
My love, when you go I will miss you so
My heart will be frozen, until our "hello".

Anticipation

My days were all full of sadness
Not to mention a bit of madness
When months before we parted ways
Which left me in a perpetual daze

This parting keeps tearing me apart
I feel the pain with each beat of my heart
My tears spill from all of me
I cannot think or hear or see

I close my eyes and think of you
And my senses all tingle anew
The days pass by and so I yearn
and anticipate my love's return.

I'm lost without you, I don't know what to do
I never knew I could be this blue
I've missed you through goodbyes and hellos
I've missed you more than you'll ever know

I can't wait to be in your arms
And once more be filled with your charms
When we kiss I'll know for sure
That my lonely heart is finally cured.

To A Friend

You come to me with tear-filled eyes
You tell me about his deceit and lies
I comfort you as best I could
But in the end, it's just no good

For I can see your marriage is dead
When he betrayed you and made his bed
When he deceived you and your love
When he betrayed the Lord above

Should you decide to leave him, so be it
Let him have that senseless twit
But should you decide to stay with him
Remember, you future will always be dim

Doubts will fill your head night and day
You will wonder whether to go or stay
You will wonder "Does he love me still?"
When his very touch gives you a chill

My friend, I can only hold your hand
Wipe your tears and take your stand
But I cannot decide for you
You must do what you must do

Think hard and deep and also pray
I know you will find your answer one day
But whatever it is that you plan to do
Remember I'll always be here for you.

Choose

You say you don't like her
But I see in your eyes
that she's more than a friend
No, don't act surprised.

You go out with her
without telling me
You keep things to yourself
and say "It's nothing, see?"

I wonder, do you hold her,
dream about her at night?
Is it her you imagine
in your arms so tight?

Don't think that I'm blind
I know what I feel
I know women are attracted
to your sex appeal.

Bear in mind that I love you
But you can't continue this way
It just hurts too much
I can't live like this everyday.

I can't share you with anyone
That's just not my style
I said my vows seriously
when I walked down that aisle.

So it has to be her or me
There's just no other way
Let me know soon enough
If I should go or if I should stay.

Emptiness

The salty air reeks of fish stench
As the girl sits on a worn bench
She looks and stares into the sea
And the passersby leave her be.

She stares; she sees nothing at all
The water and waves rise and fall
In her hand is an old letter
Folded, yellowed, worn and tattered

Her heart beats faster as night falls
She hears the seagulls scream and call
And then the dock slowly empties
As the sun kisses the purple sea.

She looks around, she's all alone
Inside her heart she must have known
The man she loved has long been gone
And so she stood and said, "I'm done."

Emptiness is a mode of perception, a way of looking at experience. It adds nothing to and takes nothing away from the raw data of physical and mental events. You look at events in the mind and the senses with no thought of whether there's anything lying behind them. http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/emptiness.html
