Denial

It's not that I love you,
It's not that I care;
It's just that I miss
every single thing
when you're not standing there.

It's not that I need you
(I'm not as empty as I feel).
The clouds in my eyes
are only clear
if you've waded in them before.

I'm not gonna love you forever,
I'm not gonna wish on a star
that you'll be mine again.
No, that would be childish
and you stole all my innocence
when you left.
So I'll just deny that
there's any heartache
for me to forget.

Some days I am haunted
by a memory or two.
I barely feel my
broken heart if the
distraction's good.

So, "carpe diem" but
I don't seize much these days
why is karma
so cavalier about
the wounds that it makes?


I'm not gonna love you forever,
I'm not gonna wish on a star
that you'll be mine again.
No, that would be childish
and you stole all my innocence
when you left.
So I'll just deny that
there's any heartache
for me to forget.

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

thirsty darkness

She  stood aloof nothing stood in the way of her purpose. buffeted by the cool winter breeze, nothing stood but She had watched others fall to the whirr or tumble into thirsty darkness but she refused to let the world assign her pain. Her pain was her own. She stands calmly, patiently awaiting tomorrow. will it bring an end or another beginning? what use in new predictions? tomorrow we chase the yesterdays we did not catch today.  (again.) She will herald the end to nothingness by giving in to it and tumbling into thirsty darkness as winter blows itself away ...Prompted by the 100 Word Song writing challenge at  My Blog Can Beat up Your Blog .  T his week's track: Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down".
