Last night I felt it

& I melted down...

Last night I smiled

before I could frown...

Last night I crumbled

& I tumbled down.

But we all have issues;

that's what he said...

We all survive

though we end up dead...

We carry on &

we all must strive...

Or if we do not,

we do not feel alive.

And I have known death

for so many years...

Locked in myself -

drowned in my tears...

But as I awoke

from the pain of my fears:

I wasted nothing...

I gave him something...

I knew him here;

I knew him rough...

When somebody loves you

& they make love to you

even with love

it isn't enough.

I let that guest in;

I learned that lesson;

I learned that love

isn't being in love.

And if our paths

do not cross once more...

I took no prisoners;

that's what life's for...

I knew him here

without compromise...

I can

live with that -

With no sad goodbyes.
