After my last heart break......
I build myself a castle
Protected by a Great wall
With a Grand draw bridge and it was pulled up, closed, unwelcoming.
A beautiful moat with an abundance
Of nature surrounding it's banks
Drained of it's spirit and soul.
Spying on potential lovers from my ivory tower.
I felt safe, lonely, unhappy, unfulfilled.
Born to die
Live to cry
Life is a river
Go with the flow

Current through the middle
You can bank on me
I’m on each side
Emotional support I provide

Beneath the surface
Tears still run
But I keep flowing
Towards the sun
Don't know how to feel.
You put all your dreams aside.
Because you met me.
And old is the dust that flows
Through city veins
The stampede of time like footfalls on concrete line the furrowed brow of a 45 year old man in profile in the fading light of day
My love on the floor.
You sweep it away and with ease.
As if it were trash.
My pen hesitates.
Your love comes with conditions.
I'm not signing on.
I am not catty
You bring out the worst in me
My God the fur flew!
