***THE LONGEST GOODBYE***, by chicken scratch love
|
My monsters had blossomed
Through the years BEFORE us
My heart, nothing less
Than a demonic octopus
Grasping and flailing
Vacuuming feed
Navigational instruments
Controlling my needs
While others felt threatened
You'd set out to save me
Pulling for my recovery
While carrying our baby
I dabbled in the cause
Getting well; couldn't manage
Caught in constant acts
Of unraveling the bandage
You remained by my side
Like a determined exorcist
Demons flying by
As they exited out of this
So here I am! The REAL "me"
You seemed so disappointed
We'd worked so hard at getting me well
And now I'm feeling avoided
Expending your love on one sole purpose
Seemed to callus your heart
But I still trudge forward everyday
In hopes of a brand new start
You've made a man out of me
I'm still in love with you
And we may always be together
But sometimes this feels
Unfortunately,
Like the longest goodbye ever |
