Just Another Sad Story.

She loved a guy more than life and at the time he loved her back,
But it's fate's favorite thing to topple life when everything seems on track.

He came to her one day and said, "It's my parents, love, they want me wed.
They don't want us together love. Forget the girl forever they said."

She teared up and sobbed and wept and wailed, all she could do was cry,
The guy she loved more than life, didn't even bother to try.

She turned to practicality and decided to weep no more,
She promised not to answer even if, love came knocking at her door.

There was another guy, a friend, who had been through such a past,
He knew these wounds just wouldn't heal, they were always meant to last.

He was there for her and she for him all through their toughest time,
They knew this friendship was rare indeed, losing it would be a crime.

He thought they understood each other and so he went and asked her out,
She didn't really like the thought and asked what it was all about.

He told her they were great together and asked for a chance to be more,
She freaked out at the sight of what she thought was love again knocking at her door.

She said no as best as she could and disappeared from his life,
The wounds of her past she was amazed to know could still cause her so much strife.

The guy was great but she couldn't bring herself to put ,yet again, her heart,
And be vulnerable to the pain that before almost tore her apart.

Years later she still regrets not doing what she could have done,
She could have chosen to forget her past and let the friend be the one.

Lose My Mind

Seeing colors in black & white, a darkroom that is so bright,
The grief of what is left behind, may just be making me lose my mind.

Even the sunlight feels so cold, pausing life has been put on hold,
The pieces of the puzzle I cannot find, may just be making me lose my mind.

Everything seems as clear as mud, as unimportant as is blood,
Seeing my whole life in rewind, may just be making me lose my mind.

It is the calm amidst the storm, breaking hearts is now the norm,
The feel of pleasure and pain combined, may just be making me lose my mind.

The peace fostered by the threat of war, where life and freedom are either or,
The axes that I have to grind, may just be making me lose my mind.

When even choice is left to chance, and destiny is in a conscious trance,
Look at how the stars have aligned, perfectly to make me lose my mind.
