News Of Old
...and so...
I'm news of old, used paper tissue
such feeble truce inherently was prone to issue,
to meet and greet was great despite adventure
who dares to ask the Sea to change it's nature?
I separate my being from all that's outside
and slice the negative away, without remorse or pride
may her sporadic love secure another anchor
may my old past
retain the smell of good, at last
those miles driven and without a point
and promises of greatest action
I will not call her coward, traitor or a snake
the pact was based on honor
miscalculation on my part, mistake...
forgive my sins and I - indemnify
the sweetness of the thoughts
of sparks inside her eyes
good byes are due...
good bye
my nevermore beloved friend
