The Cheeky One

Winter

What is about the coldest season, that leaves me all alone?

Something about this time of year causes your distance.

Animals are supposed to hibernate, not you.

I dread as the leaves begin to change,

And the air begins to fill with fog.

I know that you’ll lose yourself again,

It happens every year.

I suppose it’s the holidays and festivities,

And missing what you once had,

But why can’t we build new memories,

Instead of wallowing in the past?

I do my best to remain patient.

As I wait for spring’s warm,

And for your heart to once again thaw.

We Used to Be Friends

How do I write this?

How do I say it?

But who I thought you were,

Is not who you are.

How do you look in the mirror,

Without bursting in shame?

How can you look me in the eyes,

While lying to my face?

I realize now how you’ve used me.

What I thought was kindness

Was really deceit.

I believed lie after lie,

And let you take advantage of my trust.

But finally you let your colors show.

Don’t think I’m clueless.

It was going to happen eventually,

Now I see who you’ve become.

Soon, I hope you will too,

It’s not too late to mend your ways.

But it’s too late to mend our friendship.

Roller Coaster

My emotions are a roller coaster as they rush up, up, up

Then dropping down unexpectedly.

The gnawing in my stomach grows,

As I try to gain some control.

I’m jerking around corners that I don’t see coming.

My thoughts whoosh back and forth,

My mental state is chaotic,

A tilt-awhirl in my brain.

Apprehensions spin faster and faster.

And my heart can’t make up its mind.

I want my feet back on the ground.

But life isn’t an amusement park

And I can’t claim that I am too short for the ride.
