Farewell youth

Only a flutter,
Remembering the past
And then it's gone.
Never let it surface too long.
Gone are days of youth,
Each and every one.

Miss You

The life we lived
The things we did
All revolved
Around one another.

Time passed
We grew up
Things changed
And so did we.

I miss that life
I miss those people
But they're gone
They no longer exist.

I miss that hope
That anything is possible
That somehow
Things could be different.

I wish that
Life could reverse
So many things
That I'd do differently.

Take a missed opportunity
Turn it into history
Re-write the future
Make us both in the present.

I miss you
I love you
My long lost friend.

Too Late

Gone from my life
but not from my mind
Life has changed
You've lost your shine
Your image
fallen from grace
Is still
One of a familiar face

You are someone
I no longer know
Yet I feel no one
Could know you more
Your gift arrived
You pushed everyone away
Though I tried
You didn't want me to stay

Now on the outside
You seem much the same
But inside I know
Everything has changed
Your sadness began
You turned away
From your friends
From everything

I just hope you realize
Before it's too late.

Goodbye, My Friend

Said goodbye for good
Never looking back again
I am happy now.

Invisible

And oldie I dug out of my archives...

Invisible

You cut me off mid-sentence
To talk to someone else.
You ask me about my day
But change subjects before
I can answer.

I speak, yet no one hears.

Everyone makes plans
For things outside work.
But they never include me.
If only they would ask,
I would love to join them.

I bleed, yet no one sees.

People pass me as
I eat my lunch alone.
They wave and say “Hi”
To the girl behind me
No one say’s “Hi” to me.

I exist, yet no one knows.
I am invisible.

Monet Beautiful

You are beautiful
Lovely as Monet could do
Best keep my distance

Life Balance

leading a life
of Following
you Miss out
on opportunities
to Lead.

yet the
Opposite
is also True.

the quest now
is to find the
Balance
to make your
Life your Own.

The way of life

It's the way of life
Isn't it?
To live
To learn
To experience
All that you can?

To enjoy
The big moments
To savor
The little ones?

To regret
The way things happened
Even more
The way they didn't?

To move past
To push on
To grow
Every chance you get?

Learning to accept
The past
And believing in
Your future?

Yes, that is the way of life,
I believe.

New Beginning

Lovely way to clear the air
Past revisited
Perfect way to start over

Same Yet Different

Time passes
Things change
Everything is different
Yet everything's the same.

Passing the same people
Taking the same routes
Breathing the same air
Yet the air is different somehow

Not sure what to do
This feels like an ending
An urge to start over
Almost feels like a beginning
