I awoke
coughing ----
choking ----
on the memory
of you ----
the way you
kiss me
slowly ----
or the way you
conquered,
my body ----
No!
I should not!
will not!
have these memories
continue to
harass and plague ---
me!
For you see,
baby,
you were my
water ----
oxygen ----
daily supplement,
of mortal
sustenance ----
without you,
I was
nothing!
Your love,
I desired ----
But solitude
you sought ----
Now, 3 loves later,
It is the memory
of you
that makes me
cough ----
choke ----
myself awake
only to realize
a little too late ----
that you are
gone...
the solitude ----
you sought,
has left me
alone ----
withering away
into the
nothingness ----
of blessed
assuredness,
that like a phoenix
All of my tears
that I have cried
over you,
will restore me,
rebirth me, too ----
and from
the ashes
I shall
rise ----
beautiful and
strong
Even though,
I stand
alone ----
moving on
with my life ----
Memories
as a guide,
because I now know
that everything
fades ----
and memories
change ----
but life goes
on and on...
Moving forward
is a
choice ----
a doorway,
that I have
decided to
go through ----
with or without
you...
because this
is only about
me!
and you chose
to leave ----
So now
the choice is mine
yes, baby,
I'm next
in line!
the future is
before me,
at my feet ----
the doorway is clear
and I'm going
through,
with or without
you ----
hopefully I'll see you there
in the future
I shall make,
for all of this time
has passed,
but my love does not
fade or change ----
I'm going
gone
goodbye...
I love you
forever and always
