JOURNAL #6

I have many loves but only one very torn and tattered

trump card

in my knowing that the best lesson learned is the ones

that are hard

for my own general sanity's safety

I must remain alert and on constant guard

what has been wasted I can not so easily now discard

it takes only one true heart to fulfill any age old

dream

I must school my sadness to aid my cause in this so

complex yet standard regime

there can be no easy avenue to carelessly venture down

in the hazy afterthought of events yet to be disclosed

myself only alone I foolishly found

and I never thought to ask why you were no longer

around

instead I walked away from my own truths by leaving

my once so wounded heart behind to freeze out

its pain alone on the cold and over traveled

graveled road...............................
