He draws me like a bud attracts a bee
But I have not the will to stay away,
And though I know the words that I should say,
The courage I would need is not in me.
I know deep in my heart how it should be:
I tell them my goodbyes this very day,
Then with a lighter heart be on my way.
Yes, I know all too well what they should see.
Apologies should fill my every word,
And everything I say should be sincere.
The only way I'll ever truly heal
Is staying always far away from here,
Forgetting all the things I thought I heard,
And concentrating on what's truly real.
But I have not the will to stay away,
And though I know the words that I should say,
The courage I would need is not in me.
I know deep in my heart how it should be:
I tell them my goodbyes this very day,
Then with a lighter heart be on my way.
Yes, I know all too well what they should see.
Apologies should fill my every word,
And everything I say should be sincere.
The only way I'll ever truly heal
Is staying always far away from here,
Forgetting all the things I thought I heard,
And concentrating on what's truly real.
Author notes
Another one from this summer. Again, it will probably not be much edited, as I was just writing down what came and it happened to be almost in sonnet form. It's not good enough quality to work with, though, unless I want to spend time on it that I could spend actually writing better poetry.

So true...
Lies are never found in truth
thus bring healing in end
Masks can only bring deceit
and chase away the friend
Sharing time is never scaled
by the measure of our hand
But each event does change our heart
and foundation where we stand
Have a lovely week...

How sad! But beautiful, as is your talent. I know Liadan would like this one. I shall comment more fully when I can type faster than one letter per minute....
