Poem: So many nights, for so long a face swirled
Thru the depths of my smoky hazy dreams.
You looked me straight in the eye and lied.
Hearing the line I’ll try to call you more
Hoping each time it would be true
Hiding away in the shadows.
Frustration killing me til I’d give up
You’d call to say, “I think we can work things out”
Sending me a birthday card
To my best friend, love always it read
I’d rip off scabs that were about to heal

You’re concrete pouring in the rain
Unpredictable Lake Champlain weather
So much trouble and pain
Swimming with sharks smelling the blood
Cutting with anonymous words
Recounting every word you ever said
Complete with embarrassed regrets
Everything dredged up again
Things I can’t explain
Now or then
Stupidest thing I've ever done
Best to leave it all be
Best to…Wish you...And everyone
Well on their journey...
