lovenlosses

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.

via Daily Prompt: Premature

Premature

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.

via Daily Prompt: Infect

Infect

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.

via Daily Prompt: Thin

Thin

Hanging on a thin, frayed thread
So brittle and oh so fragile
Hard to imagine the survival of love
The endurance… so incomprehensible.

Bound by guilt and senseless blame
Looking for the reasons why
Scratching only upon the surface
Finding just one reason to try.

Crying out to be alone
Smoothered and overwhelmed
Wishing there was one secret, just one
Just one you’d never tell.

The days and years pass by
They take your heart, they take your soul
Nothing left at the end of the day
You let it go, then you are old.

Just one pass on the carousel
How many try to grab the ring?
Too many sit and wonder why
They didn’t care, it meant nothing.

I wandered along the sandy beach
It was a cold, damp, dreary day
I was hoping to try and clear my head
I walked for quite a ways.

No one else had ventured out
I was on the beach alone
It was there that I stumbled upon
Some keys and a new cell phone.

I picked them up, dusted them off
Put them inside my jacket pocket
Wondered who had dropped them there
Saw the keys were attached to a locket.

Further along I realized
Someone had gone out for a swim
That’s when I saw the cold remains
That’s when I stumbled upon them.

Two strangers lying on the beach
They had washed up on the shore
A man and woman lying there
Not breathing anymore.

Took out my phone, called 911
Explained how I found the deceased
I gave them the keys and cell phone, too
Gave it all to the local police.

They set up some parameters
Using tape and some wooden stakes
Hoping that scouring the area
Might provide them with a break.

They looked for clues, for evidence
Was this an accidental drowning?
The riptides were pretty strong that day
They were lucky they had found them.

Forensics arrived with body bags
They were examined, then placed inside
No one was there to shed a tear
No one was there to even cry.

I noted they both had matching rings
Sad to know they had lost their way
Not a good day to go swimming out there
A sad ending to this dark, dreary day.

Pedigree

He thought his uptown pedigree
Put him on a higher plane
Believed that he was different
Truth is we’re all the same.

Get down upon your high horse
Who do you think you are?
You carry on like royalty
Like you’re a movie star.

Wealth does not define us
What makes you think you’re better?
Stop judging by appearances
Being kind is all that matters.

Step down a peg, come down to earth
Wake up, come to your senses
Stop looking down on others
Time to mend those broken fences.

My puppy has no pedigree
She simply is a mutt
Still thinks that she is special
She’s not into all that stuff.

She holds her own with others
Doesn’t care about their genes
She sniffs around and plays with them
She’s trim and always clean.

She wears a simple collar
Eats her food out of a box
She is plain and very playful
She’s not cunning like a fox.

She is my little baby
So cuddly and cute
She comes running when you call her
Always thrilled to be with you.

Even though she is a mixed breed
To me she’s royalty
She’s my special little princess
She means everything to me.

via Daily Prompt: Slight

Slight

A slight miscalculation
Can make all of the difference
A change, a step off to the side
Can alter your foundation.

Don’t let yourself be fooled or tricked
Lured into a web of deceit
Keep your eyes wide open
Beware of those you meet.

Protect yourself, all you hold dear
The jackals are there, they’re waiting
You’ll never know what they are capable of
Your fate they’re contemplating.

Vulnerable and lonely
Makes you such easy prey
Be careful what you wish for
You’ll regret that fateful day.b

The day you fall for someone who
Will take you for a ride
Will take your strength, your will, your life
Leaving you without your pride.

One minute you’ll feel you have it all
They’ll make you feel so good
But they’ll cheat, connive and run around
Never doing what they should.

You’ll be made a fool of
They are void of honor and of shame
They’ll take what they want from you
You’ll have yourself alone to blame.

Hard to be without your mother
Your very best and dearest friend
The one who stood beside you
And loved you till the end.

You turned to her for comfort
To calm the raging storm
The one who would protect you
Keep you safe, keep you from harm.

No one laughs the same way
She’ll always be a part of you
She was the one you could count on
When you didn’t know just what to do.

No calling on your cell phone
No running or heading home
She’s gone, there’s no one there now
No one to depend upon.

So hard to be without her
No one knows the pain inside
The hurt you feel, the loss so deep
All you can do is sit and cry.

So hard to be alone now
No one can take her place
Remember all the good times
Close your eyes to see her face.

She is with you in her own way
Hold tight to memories
She wouldn’t want you to be sad now
Try your best to be happy.
