You’re making an assumption
Sounds like prejudice to me
If you don’t have all the facts
There’s no reason to agree.
Keep your own opinions
Keep them to yourself
Voicing false concerns
Will be of little help.
If you don’t have all the facts
Best to wait and take the time
To figure it all out
You just might change your mind.
Being open and fair-minded
Is a better path to take
Being too presumptuous
Could be a big mistake.

I watched you disappear from sight
I watched you walk away
I watched my world crumble before me
There was nothing left to say.
What happened to the two of us
The dreams I thought we shared?
How could I’ve been so clueless
To think you really cared?
You lied, you took advantage
You walked out on me
Now I feel so foolish
I have been set free.
I gave up my heart and soul
To prove my love for you
None of this was real for you
None of it was true.
Now you’re with someone new
Just another pretty face
Someone else to be with you
I have been replaced.
It saddens me to think of her
And what pain she will go thru
The day she gets left behind
The day she learns the truth.

I watched you disappear
I sat there and I waited
You were never coming back
The memories now have faded.
Guess I always knew
You were never mine to keep
I knew it as I watched you
Lie beside me sound asleep.
No sense of guilt or shame
Kept you awake at night
I could never rest
Knowing something wasn’t right.
I never stood a chance
The money wasn’t there
That’s all you ever wanted
You never really cared.
From one place to another
Climbing one rung at a time
You knew where you were going
You weren’t about to change your mind.
The winner has the treasure
So easily bought and sold.
That’s all that satisfies you
The money and the gold.

Awkward and scared
Embarrassed to tears
I did what you told me
Abandoned my fears.
Would’a followed you anywhere
Done anything that you said
You were my everything
Every thought in my head.
Obsessed and consumed
I fell for you
I fell so hard
Didn’t know what to do.
So carefully planned
You took control
I was your puppet
You took my soul.
Once you were done
And had taken it all
You walked out on me
I took the fall.
Battered and bruised
My life torn apart
Should’a known all along
Should’a known from the start.

They call it narcissism
A distorted sense of self
A sociopathic disorder
They can think of no one else.
They come first, their needs and wants
Their own selfish, lustful desires
They’ll show some interest early on, but
In time they’ll grow bored and tire.
It takes a lot to stimulate
To keep them satisfied
You’ll spend your life appeasing them
Forgoing your own pride.
No sincerity or loyalty
They’ll take all you have to give
They thrive on getting over
It’s who they are, it’s how they live.
An all-consuming sense of self
They crave attention and adoration
Obsessed and consumed with no one else
No concern for your reputation.
They’re charming and persuasive
You’ll be overcome and overwhelmed
You’ll fall so hard, you’ll lose yourself
Overtaken by their spell.

via Daily Prompt: Complication
There was one complication
One small, annoying snag
One thing that had prevented me
From keeping what I had.
It was also packaged
In a small, gray duffle bag
It was labeled “Guilt and Shame”
My private stash of guarded swag.
No matter what I did or said
It was always there with me
Keeping me forthright, trustworthy
Maintaining my honesty.
The bag I found today was loaded
With thousands of hundred dollar bills
All crisp and stacked so perfectly
For me to spend at will.
No one saw me take it
It was left there all alone
I picked it up, I walked away
I carried it back home.
Was the money earned or stolen?
Was it used to for drugs or porn?
Was it mine to keep or give up
I was feeling confused, quite torn.
If “Guilt and Shame” weren’t with me
Don’t know just what I’d do
Guess I’d keep the money
Guess that’s what I’d probably do.
I called the police and told them
About the bag that I had found
They said if no one claimed it
I’d be the richest girl in town.
Three months later, while at home
There was a knock upon my door
A policeman handed me a thousand dollars
Said the owner gave me a reward.
The moral to this story
That I choose to share with you
Is… listen to your conscience
When you don’t know what to do.

Thought you walked on water
Always thought you had it all
Didn’t know that you would leave me
Didn’t know you’d end it all.
Off of the ledge….so far above me
You fell down ….right to the ground
In shock…. I started shaking You didn’t scream or make a sound.
So hard to be without you
It’s so hard to be alone
I feel scared … unsure and lost
Now that I am on my own.
So attractive….captivating
Your voice, your smile …. your touch
Always knew you needed something
I was never quite enough.
I’m not the same without you
I will never understand
Why you led me on…so long
Was it all part of your plan?
You got just what you wanted
I’m broken hearted ….pulled apart
Confused …. unsure …. and anxious
Should have know right from the start.
Now they’ll be no second chances
No way to make repairs
You’re gone …. now gone forever
Guess you never really cared.
You never had intended
To spend much time with me
Just marking time so quietly
Always knowing you would leave.

It’s too premature
To conclude or decide
Gotta give it a chance
Gotta look at all sides.
Gotta take a step back
Figure out what to do
Before making a fool
A fool out of you.
Too many opinions
Judgments abound
The truth is there somewhere
It’s got to be found.
Don’t be offended
Take it personally
It’s not about you
It’s more about me.
We’ve got to try harder
We’ll find a way
Measure our words
Watch what we say.
Don’t be presumptuous
Don’t dare assume
Spread out your feelings
Try to make room.
Open your eyes
Open your mind
There’s more to be gained
Than we’re leaving behind.
You know we got this
That’s how we roll
Just gotta stay focused
To complete our goal.

Lying beneath the weeping willow
The grass so green and lush
Hear the lullaby so gentle
Be quiet now, please… hush.
Close your eyes, breathe in and out
All the herbs and flowering trees
Cleanse your mind of thoughts and dreams
Any sadness that shouldn’t be.
Let Mother Earth hold you close
As she holds you in her arms
The sights and sounds around her
All the magic of her charms.
The unicorns, the butterflies
All gather in the meadow
Dragon flies, all of the woodland creatures
All are soon to follow.
Spring is here, birds chirp with delight
All of the forest begins anew
Happy to shake off the damp, cool blanket
Of the protective, morning dew.
Frolicking thru the tall green grass
The deer and fox appear
Happily joining all the others
Who have made it safely here.
The chipmunks scampering across the branches
Of the bushes and the trees
The rabbits, the squirrels the opossum too
Have come to be with me.
I cherish the love and company
Treasures more valuable than gold
Never tarnished, never changing
Forever young …. forever bold.
Infect
The means to infect and contaminate our water
Was a plot stratgically implemented
It was well thought out and executed
Rage and hate the presumed incentives.
The virus spread near and far
Thru contact and ingestion
Any type of exposure could cause death
From this fatally, horrifying infection.
The scientists and microbiologists
Finally found a viable antidote
The plan was to neutralize the bug
They identified inside a microscope.
The FBI, The CIA
All of the environmental agencies
Realized the need to act
The severity and the urgency.
The pain and hurt the virus caused
Led to such horrible devastation
They had to find those responsible
They feared more annihilation.
Arrests were made, the guity charged
The threat had been neutralized
Those responsible would pay the price
The details now classified.
