Words have a way of cutting deep 
Deep within your soul
They should be measured carefully
Their weight  worth more than gold.

One comment made…. can cut deep
Can tear one’s heart to pieces
Once the trust is violated
All faith in friendship ceases. 

Double talk …. twisted words
Rearranging thoughts and motives
Can’t repair the damage done
Can’t change what’s been denoted.

“If you’ve got nothing nice to say,
Don’t say anything at all”
A phrase that has been known by most
Often posted on the wall.

Kindness can’t be bought or sold
It’s innate ….. it lives within
Within the confines of your heart
That’s where it all begins.

Apologizes are not enough
They can’t change the past
Remarks and accusations
Seem to linger …. seem to last. 

Think before you tell someone
What may hurt or sting a bit
Consider how they may feel
Reconsider ….. sharing it.

Always respect boundaries
Not just yours …. consider theirs
Try to think ….. before you speak
Show others that you care.

Feeling so anxious
Encumbered by fear
Wanting to conquer
No time for these tears.

Stepping up boldly
Stating my claim 
Calling out clearly
My purpose …. my name.

Sharing my feelings 
Bearing my soul
The need to be heard
Will never get old.

Stories worth telling
Memories linger 
The plight of the artist
A poet …. a singer.

Whispering emotions
Tales of lost love
The depth of one’s feelings
Is more than enough.

Intros and verses
Bridges and riffs
Your mind now sedated
Will aimlessly drift.

The power …. the strength 
Of words interwoven
Carefully written 
Now melodically spoken.

Let’s walk down to the jetty
We’ll leave our shoes there…. on the steps
Let’s walk along the beach …. barefoot
Who cares if we get wet?

Feel the sun …. the cool.. sweet breeze
While on the sandy shore
Walk along ….. close beside me
That’s what summer is meant for.

I love your smile …. so tender
The color of your hair
Wanting to be close to you
Trying hard …. hard not to stare.

We climbed the rocks together
On the jetty …. near the cave
We stood beside each other
Felt the sprinkle of the waves.

It was dark and somewhat cold inside
You began to shiver
I gave you my jacket …said you’d be warm
It has a hood and a front zipper.

Before too long… we headed back
The tide was coming in
Almost dusk … getting dark
The day was soon to end.

Back on the beach …. a gold sunset
The moon in the distance above
I wanted to tell you how I felt
That I was falling so deeply in love.

We walked back under the moonlight
Walking barefoot in the sand 
You said that it was ….. a perfect day 
Then reached out and held my hand.

You turned off the lights
Unlocked the front door
You let her in
Said your needed more.

Never enough
The pleasure …. the pain
The thrill of desire
Starting over again.

A loss of desire
A matter of time
She came along
The next one in line.

Break out the wine
Spare no expense
She’ll be impressed
Your feelings intense.

Like nothing before
Her head will be spinning
You’ll make her feel great
Right from the beginning.

One night in the dark
The longing ….. the fire
She’ll do what you want
She’ll want to get higher.

Nowhere on earth
Has she ever been
Beyond the clouds
Where the air’s Iacocca so thin.

So thrilling ….. addicting 
So intoxicating 
The power of lust
So captivating. 

Without a doubt
Pushed to the brink
With no time at all
To stop and think.

The clock will be ticking
But she’ll have no clue
This feeling won’t last
No …. never with you.

Spit balls and pea shooters 
Skate keys and chalk
Let’s go to the park
Let’s take a walk.

Stick ball and baseball
Cardboard airplanes
Tree forts and horseshoes 
Crayons and games.

Hide and Go Seek
Races and bikes
Rope swings and gliders
Whatever you’d like.

Run like the wind
Skip all the way home
Play in the backyard
With friends or alone.

No laptops …. no cell phones
No video games
It was so simple
Wish things …. never changed.

I went back to your apartment
You had moved away
I followed up on every lead
Looked for you every day.

I spent my days wondering
Remembering nights with you
The quiet exchange of memories
Of the things we used to do.

Never dreamed I’d be without you
Never thought that you’d move on
Thought we’d always be together
But something had gone wrong.

I wasn’t what you wanted
No …. I could never be
The one that you were looking for
The one you really need.

I’m calling again
Please pick up the phone
I know that you’re high
Please stop getting stoned.

It’s time to get sober
You’re losing your grip
You must be so tired
So tired of all this.

Please put down the pipe
Shave off that beard
Clean yourself up
Stop acting so weird.

Your ship needs a rudder
You don’t need a drink
Get back on track
Before your boat sinks.

You’re not by yourself
Don’t go it alone
Please take my calls now
Please answer the phone.

You never think of others
Before thinking of yourself
So hard for you to reach out
To offer any help.

Always in the spotlight
The center of attention
Sharing of one’s compliments 
The bone of your contention.

Extremes and innuendos 
Passive and aggressive
Always an agenda
Always so obsessive.

The antithesis of kindness
So shrewd and calculating
Trying to get over
Always shrewd, manipulating.

Getting someone else
To do the work for you
Anything to put it off 
Telling others what to do.

Looking for a victim
Needing someone you can use
Someone you can boss around
You thrive on the abuse.

Alone …. you are an island
You push everyone away
No friends …. no one to speak of 
They’ll just get in your way .

But …. some have paid attention
They are cautiously astute
They know the insincerity 
They know what you’re up to.

Spitting on the sidewalk
The perfect analogy
No regard for promises 
No excuse or apology.

It’s time for me to walk away 
There’s nothing I can do
I have simply had enough
I’m tired of wanting you.

Been charging up the middle
Always meeting with resistance
Been getting knocked around
Complete with callous consequences.

Feeling belly up
No options or recourse 
You show no depth of feeling
No guilt ….and no remorse. 

Got your invitation
For a late night rendezvous 
I won’t be coming over
I’m done…. so done with you.
