Waiting for you
To close the door
Stop begging and pleading
Stop asking for more.

You knew from the start
That I ran around
Now you are whining
All over town.

Stop crying, man up
What did you expect?
Did you think you could change me
Put a chain round my neck?

I’m packing my bags
I’m saying good bye
It wasn’t all bad
You were a nice guy.

But, who is the loser
Is it me, Is it you?
You live in denial
No idea what to do.

If you had been stronger
And stood up to me
Maybe I would have stayed
But, you were too blind to see.

You sat home alone
Your cell phone in hand
Hoping I’d call
Like a boy, not a man.

While you were asleep
I was out dancing
Getting it on
I welcomed advances.

You knew all along
It would end this way
Everyone told you
To leave, walk away.

You kept on trying
You thought they were wrong
You should have listened
You waited too long.

The moss upon the trees
Covered in morning dew
Glistening in the sunlight
Beneath the sky so blue.

The chatter of the sparrows
The yellow chickadees
The squirrels running all about
Brings back the memories.

Running barefoot, topless
My hair blowing in the wind
Not a care in the world
I still remember when.

I wore grandma beads, a dirty face
Drank water from a hose
Looked for sticks and crickets
Dandelions and small green toads.

Watched the sky for different shapes
In the clouds so far above
Laid in the grass for hours
Feeling happy, feeling loved.

Life was oh so simple then
No fanfare and no glitter
Playing in the backyard
With my teenage babysitter.

We built forts, ran thru the creek
So few hours in the day
Never wanted to fall asleep
All we wanted was to play.

Hide n seek, or stick ball
Climbing trees and over fences
Nothing seemed impossible
No time for worry or defenses.

Summers were the very best
Always outside having fun
We ran and played all day long
Under the scorching sun.

Running here, running there
Pulling wagons, riding bikes
Waiting for the ice cream truck
Pure afternoon delight.

The lyrics reach out
They speak to me
The music conveys
What used to be.

The way it was
Before you left
When my heart was yours
It’s all in my head.

The tears still come
They fill my eyes
I need to let go
I keep asking why.

Obsessed, overwhelmed
With thoughts of you
So consumed with loss
What can I do?

The years pass by
You’re long gone
You never looked back
You moved on.

What’s holding me back?
This isn’t love
A mere obsession
Is all I think of.

It’s wrapped around
My heart and soul
It’s taken my joy
I’m out of control.

Set me free
Break the chains
Get out of my mind
Stop causing me pain.

The memory of you
Is no longer real
It’s morphed into something
That I need to feel.

Twisted, distorted
Like a worn out old tape
Played too many times
While asleep or awake.

Turn down the volume
Play a new song
This one keeps repeating
It’s been playing too long!

Trying too hard
Hanging on tight
Won’t save you the heartache
The pain every night.

She’ll walk out regardless
It’s not about you
She has places to go
She has things to do.

The longing, the craving
Get ahold of yourself
Stop being so needy
Take care of yourself.

Whining and sulking
Makes you look so small
It’s not attractive
Not appealing at all.

Step back, step away
Find your center, your core
She’s not what you need
Stop asking for more.

Let go of the reigns
Cut the ties, cut the rope
You can’t hold her back
There is simply no hope.

You’re making it worse
The punishing, the shaming
It’s time to stop all the
Guilt and the blaming.

You can’t hold on
When she longs to be free
You’ve got to move on
To find what you need.

So fussy, so angry
Filled with remorse
Taking it out on
The weak link, of course.

Wondering what
Motivates you
To get up in the morning
With so little to do.

So quick to find fault
You gossip and mourn
The loss of your loved ones
Brings pain and such scorn.

The others around you
Annoy and outrage
Your sense of balance
The life that you’ve made.

You want them near
Yet push them away
A reminder of you
In your younger days.

You sit there and judge
You hide and you crawl
Unable to stand up
For fear you will fall.

The numbers, the cards
They help you to mask
The sorrow inside you
For coming in last.

You’ve made me uncomfortable
I’m not going to stay
I shouldn’t have come
I’m walking away.

What was I thinking?
Should have known better
Like birds of a feather
You all stick together.

You have your cronies
Your pals, so called friends
Guess I knew from the start
That I didn’t fit in.

We’re all sitting here
The music’s too loud
Everyone’s talking
The roar of the crowd.

The stares from a stranger
The smell of bad food
Too much beer and alcohol
The jokes stale and crude.

The forced conversations
The winks from the bar
They watch from a distance
You stay where you are.

Too many people
Lonely and sad
Are venting hostility
Because they’re so mad.

Resenting their spouses
Hating their jobs
No courage to change things
They whine and they sob.

Intoxicated
And out of control
Can’t get it together
The same story gets told.

Time to change focus
Get out of this game
You need some direction
Not more of the same.

Read a good book
Check out the museum
Make some new friends
Change what you’re doing.

The blistering heat
The clouds rolling in
A storm is brewing
It’s going to rain again.

I sit by the window
Look out at the garden
Missing her more
My angel, my guardian.

Each day passes by
I try to remember
The sound of her voice
And my memories of her.

I look in the mirror
I’m beginning to see
A resemblance there
Her reflection in me.

More and more like her
My preferences change
My choices in everything
Her essence remains.

But can’t pick up the phone
To ask her a question
When I need her advice
Hard to fight this depression.

The fun that we had
The laughter… the love
The silly remarks
I can’t stop thinking of.

The days pass me by
She’s been gone a long time
But her memory lingers
In my heart, in my mind.

You’re not used to someone
Holding the door
Paying you compliments
Not looking for more.

So sweet and so thoughtful
He’s honest and true
It all feels so different
So different for you.

He’s gentle, soft spoken
Not making demands
So easy, so laid back
Such a kind, loving man.

So used to abuse
Harsh words and put downs
But this guy is different
He’s not playing around.

It’s not hard, it’s so easy
To spend time with him
No tension, no drama
And, that sweet boyish grin.

You feel so relaxed
Your defenses let down
No reason to worry
When he is around.

Feeling secure
When he holds your hand
It feels really good
To know he understands.

Hoping and praying
This feeling can last
Let go of the heartache
Let go of the past.

Let your imagination soar
To heights beyond compare
Let your thoughts drift away
Let them take you there.

There is magic in the forest
There are creatures everywhere
There are fanciful adventures
If you’re willing, if you dare.

Dragon flies passing by
Fairies and unicorns
They have gathered all around us
Another duckling has been born.

The waterfall, the crystals
Sparkling in the sun
There’s room enough for everyone
To share a day of fun.

The birds on high… fly and sing
They sit upon the branches
They watch the ants march far below
While the willow gracefully dances.

Down on the ground a snake crawls by
A lizard and a toad
They make their way so carefully
To their safe and warm abode.

Night will fall before too long
Time to hurry getting there
They make their way across the field
They are careful, but not scared.

Anxious now to get back home
They wait for dawn’s daylight
They long for the warmth of sunshine
On this cold, damp, chilly night.

.

Another rainy day
Filled with muddy, cold, wet puddles
The day is passing by
The perfect time to hug and cuddle.

My kitty cats and puppies
Make their way onto the couch
They keep me safe… they keep me warm
Even Max, the old gray grouch.

The rain upon the roof top
Echoes softly through the cabin
The frogs outside are happy
Happier than we can imagine.

The birds are proudly singing
There is magic in the air
The beavers and their neighbors
Show their faces everywhere.

No thunder and no lightning
Just the smell of sweet, green grass
The forest creatures happy
Wish this day could somehow last.

I close my eyes for just a moment

I feel the warmth of the bright sun
It’s shining thru the window
Waking each and everyone.

Morning has arrived
No rain clouds appear in sight
It’s going to be a pretty day

The sun is shining bright.
