Abandoner

When I left you, you were young

But now you’re older you’ll –

Know when to run, and when to love

(Careless laughter),

Probably end up, with a happy ever after

You’re now so wise, in disguise

And you won’t ever again be tricked. By. Lies

~

Feel your father at your side

Couldn’t be there again this time

Learn what I meant

Learn why I left

I can’t let. You. Stay. Young.

~

It wasn’t easy, letting you go

But you need to respect that

you’ll never know, my sorrow

(Dad’s disaster)

The harder you look, harder the answer

I gave you life, I gave you strife

Now repay me with with your future life

~

Feel your father at your side

Couldn’t be there again this time

Learn what I meant

Learn why I left

I can’t let. You Stay-

BURN

Shape life over a dozen times

Move right, only to,wards light –

Freedom kind and freedom wise

Be shy and be alight

Run faster than the night

Love harder than you fight

Stop. Asking. Why.

 

February Snow

It’s been cold,

January snow

Ironic that for our favourite weather,

We are alone

 

I think of your cheeks,

Hot pink, burned from frost

Like settled ladybugs,

Lovewords that I have lost

 

You’re good at keeping warm,

And all I know is surviving through Winter

But you’re not safe where you are now,

And I’ll be dead before Easter

…

It’s still so cold,

February snow

Time not spent together,

Away from home

 

I think of your smile

Do you remember a time?

Anything at all?

Lovebirds that cannot chime

 

May your face wrinkle,

From the laughter someone gives you

May your hands find,

Someone to pull closer at night

 

May your hugs comfort,

As from Pooh

May your lifeline seek,

A succesful rhyme

…

I am so cold,

February snow

This snowdrop cliff

Never let me go
