The Indescribable

The Indescribable

Can you feel it?

Can you sense it?

Does it show on my face?

I don't want you to see it...

I'm too ashamed

But, I suspect you know it anyhow

You read me too well, so I hide,

Hoping to escape your all seeing eyes

Wanting to be found, yet terrified....

What is normal, and natural,

For men and women

Is my undoing, or will be

Soon enough.

It's slowly breaking my heart to pieces

I'm happy that she's happy, yet

My heart, aches, creaks, and moans

Because my time is past

And "She" has never found me,

Nor I, her....

Which saddens my soul

Once upon a time...

I had such high hopes

But Time came home to roost

And just won't let me forget

Ever reminding me of my

Failures, Shortcomings,

My Weaknesses

Between them and Father Time

I'm cornered, with nowhere to go

But down, from the bluff

I've lived an interesting Life

So, I guess it's my time to depart

Because my fractured heart

Is crumbling to pieces,

The buildup of tears won't fall

And damn-near anything is

Better than this....
