The Approaching Age

There is an approaching age
That I have not yet written on the page
It is the year of forty two
And it is being free of you
For once and for all
There was a freefall
And I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it
But boy it
Is too rich for my blood now
I’ve said so long for good somehow
And you’re bitter in your harness
As you imagine my mini dress
In someone else’s hands
But it’s all slipping sands
And he may have made me melt
But it wasn’t the same as what I felt
For you in the woods
And the doctor wants to do my bloods
To make sure I’m not sick
Sometimes I think they’re thick
Because they never seem to catch on
That I am already long gone
And they can’t tether soul to a skin
Once it has resolved itself in him
And I know she has trials of her own
It’s just my true colours shown
Are deep red and fragrant blue
And some of those were borrowed from you
So if you don’t mind
I’m gonna just be kind
To myself for a season
And let you go without a reason
