Forgiveness And Its Release

Forgiveness opens the heart
When you agree to be a part
Of this grand swathe we call life
Even when it isn’t nice
And the bitterness broke
Like a sea over me
When someone I thought
Would adore me
Forever, shattered the glass
Told me that it just wouldn’t last
And I let my hand fall
Coz I knew a brick wall
Is not for the turning
And my indignancy’s burning
As she calls me out
As a princess in an ivory tower
I abdicate and she has all the power
Whispering to ears
That I caused her tears
And am malign
If she wants an ending
Well that’s fine
I let her go
No more chasing what I don’t know
Coz I feel for her
But what we were
Is toxic through and through
She poured little bullets into
My coffee when I was set on drinking
My friends say that I’m overthinking
The matter, it’s just jealousy
But she has the will to turn all against me
I pass Sinéad McCormack in the hall
She averts her gaze and my heart fall
In her confidence
I’m all marks and little dents
From the pillars she pricked
You wouldn’t have thought the memory sticked
In my soul for so long
For though I did no wrong
In my own estimation
I flick to her station
And public enemy number one
Is me basking in the sun
Of the God of all light
Coz He chose me, alright
When the going was tough
And I had run dry of all my love
As death pierced my balloon
The rumblings of threat
And what’s always too soon
But she didn’t see
What I left in the library
When I closed the door
I won’t be back here anymore
And it was soft
I didn’t let her know she inflicted a cost
Coz I wouldn’t please her
As they say
But would you deceive her
Come what may
Into thinking she meant the sky
One thing’s for certain
We all die
And the even fate
Levels it’s gaze at me as I wait
For the gong
And the throng
That follows suit
Do you think I am a flute
To live with your bite
And apologise to you, alright
For being what I am
I’m sorry but that’s not my plan
In the effervescent
Look for true care and you’ll find the essence
Of what I sought to impart
I’m an Aries and my heart
Will rule the head
And instead
Of giving in
I walk out, and that’s my sin
As she looks on
At what’s gone
And wonders why
Friends don’t try to make you cry
So, I hope you’re well
But as for admittance
You can go to hell

For What Its Worth

I love you, I screamed, like the desperate woman
Christ alive, what am I doing!!!
“Oh, my God, she hates me” replied he in kind
(Only in his mind)
We are telepathic
At least that’s how I’m coming at it
Because the crazy seems much less intense
When I get reasons about the extent
Of our demise
When I close my eyes
And hear
What he couldn’t say
To me that day
And the going away
Is gone
Because I was wrong
About him
Within
