PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

inform Cameron that as always I wish him well

but I have better things to do than play kiss and tell

what we once had is now long since over

for see, once you get to the other side of the street

you've won the game when playing RED ROVER

we said goodbye long before we were actually through

luckily enough though, from our un-adult actions we were

each able to take our cue

I walk away but still he somehow keeps on coming

isn't it so very strange that what once felt so good

can now seem so unbelievably numbing

tell me, am I really walking away or likely running

is the man crazy or decidedly cunning

off into a dry dream land my conscience is clever ,

clear and stunning

from the crass core of my confidence cracks the whip

of cynical discord

for now, little more than leveled tolerance of him I

can allow myself the pleasure to afford

an apology at this point would seem almost rude

but what once was a shared and fabulous love affair

I can not allow to turn into an out and out blood feud

for neither of us would really win

we'd only manage to hurt ourselves and each other

in the dwindling end

so Goodnight and Goodbye forever..........
