Moving On

MOVING ON

TIME HAS COME TODAY FOR ME TO DECIDE,
WHERE I STAND,
THIS SIDE OR THAT SIDE.
HAVE MADE A SORRY FOOL OF MYSELF,
A BROKEN HEART,
SHOWS LACK OF ART
ON MY PART.

I AM TO BE BLAMED COMPLETELY
FOR HAVING JUMPED INTO SOMETHING
SO FOOLISHLY.
FOOLISH,YES I HAVE BEEN,
NOT ONCE BUT OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.

WAS THIS JUST ANOTHER PHASE..?
WAS SURE IT WOULD LAST,
THIS LIFETIME TO SAY THE LEAST.
.HAD SEEN ME THRU THE WORST,
KEPT ME GOING,
QUENCHING MY THIRST.

ALAS!
WASN'T MEANT TO BE
MY HEART IS FULL,
THE ACHE IS DULL,
MOIST EYES,UNABLE TO SEE
THE FUTURE GREY AND BLEAK.
YOUR GUIDING HAND SHAKY AND WEAK.

WISH IT WERE A DREAM,
SO I WANT IT TO SEEM,
WILL AWAKEN IN YOUR ARMS
TO YOUR COOTCHY COOING AND SWEET NOTHINGS.
MOVING ON TO BETTER BEGINNINGS,
LEAVING BEHIND THE SOLEMN ENDINGS.
