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...............................
