lovenlosses

Broken into pieces
No chance to be repaired
Like fragments of some splintered glass
They’re scattered everywhere.

Why let another person
Destroy your inner core?
Your self-respect is valuable
You’re worth so much more.

You’re hanging on, you won’t let go
What a senseless waste of time
She’s moved on to someone else
She’s not going to change her mind.

Someday you’re going to realize
All the time that you have wasted
She doesn’t deserve your accolades
Her ego’s ….. already so inflated.

A narcissist sees only themselves
They don’t consider any others
They come first, they always will
They will show you their true colors.

Once they tire of being with you
They will leave and won’t look back
Remorse and regret are feelings that they
Unfortunately, seem to lack.

Approaching the jetty, I could see
The waves coming up and over the rocks
My view was obscured, but there they were
The body and the three city cops.

There was crime scene tape and EMS
It looked like a woman’s body had been found
Wedged between two rocks, maybe three
They had laid her body out on the ground.

The police, detectives and the M.E.
All were busy gathering clues
I didn’t know if it was suicide, or not
Guess I’d find out on the evening news.

I was walking with a friend of mine
Who was scared and not the least bit curious
I on the other hand was intrigued
But she was starting to act somewhat furious.

She insisted that we turn around
So we left and walked back home
She was afraid and said she was nervous
Didn’t want to walk home all alone.

Once we got back, I couldn’t wait
I turned on the 11 o’clock news
They said a woman was found dead at the beach
That she had returned from a Carribean cruise.

No further information about cause of death
They said was that she was only forty five
She was divorced, she traveled alone
And, was last seen on the dock alive.

Two weeks later, I talked to my cousin
He was a police officer in our local town.
He told me they had arrested her ex and
That some evidence by chance had been found.

Rush

Always in a rush
Where do you need to go?
What is all this chaos?
Please, I’ve got to know.

What is so important
You feel that it can’t wait?
You’re running round in circles
No time to clear your plate.

Half-baked plans, scattered dreams
Where is this going to lead?
I watch you pull your hair out
I watch you as you bleed.

Stretched too thin, pulled too tight
One day you’re going to snap
My advice, take it slow
Lay down and take a nap.

Rush

Don’t rush me, please don’t push me
I heard the woman say
Please… I’ve got to think this thru
I’ve got to find a way.

So many hard decisions
Too many choices to be made
I’m running out of time
I am feeling so afraid.

I’ve got to face the music
The time is finally here
Should I give the go ahead
Then watch you disappear?

Too many final options
I shouldn’t have to choose
I can’t take this on myself
There’s just too much to lose.

Someone get me a pain pill
Let me please lay down
This decision’s far too hard
My head is spinning round.

What is going to happen?
What is the proper protocol?
You’re asking way too much of me
Let’s ask the doctor, who’s on call?

Rush

Don’t be in such a rush
To make it thru the day
Savor every moment
That has come your way.

Time passes by, before too long
Soon it will all run out
You’ll wonder where it all went
What was it all about?

Tell those you love how you feel
Make sure your family knows
How much you truly love them
Before it’s time to go.

Wasting so much time in life
Running here and running there
Never taking the time it takes
To say we really care.

When it’s all over, when you’re gone
It won’t matter anymore
The time is now, step right up
What are you waiting for?

Thundering crackles
Fireworks in the sky
The rumble and the bright lights
The clouds go rolling by.

The rain intensely pounding
Pelting upon the pavement
Staggering ice and hail falls
A mix of pure amazement.

Mother Nature is heard screaming
She must have been provoked
Is this her sense of humor?
Her idea of a sick joke?

The lightning oh so jagged
The streaks up in the sky
The haze and all the colors
Bringing tears to these sad eyes.

Grab your umbrella
If you want to go outside
Should be perfect if you’re walking
And expecting to stay dry.

Thwart

If we can’t thwart his plans
He will destroy our nation
We have to try and stop him
Wake up, please pay attention.

We’re going to lose our freedom
We’ll be forced to bow to him
He’s acting out of impulse
He’s governing on a whim.

Activating our National Guard
Just to please his base
He’s trying to appease them
A means of saving face.

Russia is a problem
One he choses to ignore
He’s busy creating distractions
That’s what trade with China’s for.

He has no honor, he’s a carni
He’s a clown in his own circus
He is laughing and amused
Doesn’t care about any one of us.

Emoluments, money laundering
Obstruction and collusion
He is guilty of all of it all
He’s empowered by confusion.

No morals, no integrity
He’s the devil in disguise
We have to try and stop him
Or we will see our own demise.

Inchoate

An inchoate plan
I assumed from the start
I was confused
Started falling apart
How long would it take
From point A to point B?
Would they recognize us?
Would they know it was me?

Out of my mind
Nervous, so anxious
Afraid to get caught
Afraid they will blame us
Worried, so frightened
But money and fame
The treasures I seek
The pleasures I’ll gain.

Can we pull it off?
Who would possibly think?
Who would know it was us?
Just sit down, have a drink
We moved thru the night
Casual and buff
When the time was right
We grabbed the stuff.

The roadblock was set up
The cars being stopped
We waited in line
Then spoke to the cop.

Where is your license?
What’s your destination?
Do you live here?
Are you on a vacation?

If they search the car
They’re sure to find
The guns and the drugs
I’m praying this time.

We needed the money
I agreed to transport
Just hope I’m not caught
And end up in court.

The cop was quite young
Maybe late 20’s or 30’s
He smiled as he told me
No need to worry.

I thanked him and smiled
As I drove away
I wondered if he
Was told what to say.

I made the transfer
When it got dark
I met up with a guy
Who called himself, Mark.

He gave me the money
For the drugs and the guns
I counted it first
Then I’d begun

To drive away slowly
To not make a fuss
I was happy I made it
I was happy for us.

* This is fictitious.

Out of my mind
Out of control
I‘m feeling so sad
So deep in my soul.

Where did I go wrong?
Am I under a spell?
I feel so obsessed
My life is pure hell.

I try really hard
To block thoughts of you
It makes little sense
I’m so sad and so blue.

Years have gone by
It’s ridiculous to….
Remember the heartache
What am I to do?

Should I see a doctor?
Should I ask for help?
Don’t think I can make it
All by myself.

In danger of being
Out of my mind
Out of control
All of the time.

Please break the spell
Call in the gypsies
I need a potion
One that can fix me.
