We both know …. it’s not working 
You don’t always tell the truth
I doubt your credibility 
I really don’t trust you. 

I’ve tried to meet you half way
Nothing else that I can do
I’ve tried to be accepting 
Knowing all that you’ve been through.

You’re divorced, live with your parents
Five years in recovery
No career to speak of
Light years away from me. 

Saturdays we meet up
Have some dinner, no beer or wine
I’ve tried to get to know you
Ignoring all the signs. 

There’s no common ground between us
Though you have a lot to say
I find my mind wandering
My interest fades away. 

You come over, watch a movie
It’s  a routine, casual date
I count the hours till you’re gone
Hoping you won’t stay too late. 

Two weekends passed, you ghosted me
Guess you were busy ”On Line” dating
Left me here by myself
I spent the weekend waiting. 

I can’t let go of judgements
Yes, I admit …. I’m prejudice
Don’t think we have a future 
I’m afraid …. I’m tired of this.

Don’t  read into everything 
What I write I may not feel 
I glorify, I fantasize
Not all of it is even real. 

Though written in first person
Not always referencing myself
Don’t surmise, or theorize
My thoughts of someone else.

Troubles of a friend or foe
Make their way upon the lines
Often bits and  pieces
Find their way into my mind. 

Don’t take to heart my choice of words 
Don’t think that I mean you
What I write or reference to
May be false, not always true.

Venting is an outlet
Sometimes I blow off steam 
More than not …. what I recall 
Is but, a portion of a dream. 

So don’t take it all so personally
Learn to read between the lines
It’s art …. an observation
Of others lives, as well as mine.

Looking for a change
A new vision, a bright star
Wanting to feel joy 
To erase the pain, the scars.

Opening the floodgates
Needing to let go
Tired of feeling paralyzed 
Looking for that glow.

It’s too much, I’m suffocating 
It’s so hard to breathe
Feeling tethered to my woes 
Wanting to be free.

Hiding deep inside myself 
It’s fear that holds me back
Keeps me from moving on
Why can’t I just relax?

Not giving up, no not yet
I have the means within
Somewhere deep inside myself
The desire to start again.

Should we put our dog to sleep?
Are they sure it’s time?

At least, she isn’t blind!

Restless and uncomfortable 
She moves from place to place 
Just can’t seem to settle down
Such sadness on her face.

That new one that she has.

Nothing more that he can do
Our  hearts are breaking every time

So much that she’s been through 
She’ll always be…. My Baby Girl
Though they say…. she’s 92. 

I know we need to let her rest
She’s tired … it’s plain to see
Time for me to say “Goodbye”
To stop thinking about me.
