Carefree Caresses & Careful Goodbyes

Sidestepped you drive off into a
Delusional sunset
Dawn breaks over your face and then
Nothing?

I'll say I understand,
you'll pretend to comprehend
the myriad of overflowing thoughts
Crowding the abyss of my mind and thinking
Shall I dwell? Nay,
I shant, for the weak dwell in the
crevasses of their overly complicated complications

Apathy, that's the word
They knew it best
I'd spent much time drawing your description
But it's simple, you see

Simultaneously I cannot state
the reasons I want to hear
trickling down a chocolate river
rich with delicacy and deliberation

Ah, that's the feeling that once was
Now falling behind
A child running to its mother,
only to find
a stern engraving in a carved stone
carefully crafting the history in my mind

Carefree caresses turn to careful goodbyes
Stuck in the throat of time
Find the reasons to say
Dreams aren't always the way
To clear yesterday's today

Sentiments you shared not
But realize I don't stop
to smell the flowers from last week

It's time to say
This lovesong is done
Best wishes, good luck, good day
