Forgetful…

You seem so very forgetful

But think that it’s ok

And you only need remember

What you are going to do today

But that reply it holds no water

It leaks just like a sieve

And I know that sooner or later

Things will have to give

You are standing there before me

In your face I see the fear

That life will change forever

And to you that feels so near

You just won’t talk about it

But it will not go away

Your mind has started deleting

Or remembering your day

It’s cost is like a penance

That you really can’t afford

So please lets talk about it.

It can’t be just ignored.

Idle Thoughts 11

Life is a gift, don’t waste it.

I am made of many moving parts

But some no longer work

Sometimes I am lost in thoughts

Sometimes the quiet can be too noisy

When you are looking for support and none is forthcoming

You are either completely wrong in your thinking or not amongst friends

A Shamed Of My Past…

Stop and talk she said

As I slowly wandered past

Her clothes they spoke of yesterday

And seemed upon their last

I’m sorry I didn’t see you

But she knew it was a lie

For I had skirted around her

In the hope she would not cry

I knew her from my past you see

Such a beauty in her prime

But time had not been kind to her

And her looks they made me sigh

Is that you I said still faking

Longing to be away

Just sit a while with me

For soon I’ll fade away

Remember all the fun we had

When you were still a boy

And I’d play with your emotions

As if you were my toy

Now you just ignore me

Embarrassed by your past

While you dance with your own ego

In a world that will not last

It’s ok I won’t detain you

You best be on your way

Still one day you will remember

How you treated me today
