A New Epiphany

It’s been a long time

Since I’ve felt this way.

Feeling like a stranger

I passed by today.

The last time, I made my mistakes

I tried to make it work for us

I said, “I’ll do whatever it takes.”

There’s no way she wanted it to work

It was doomed from the start.

I was devastated, my mind destroyed

No one was sure what tore us apart.

I’ve buried my feelings

Deep within in my soul.

I thought they were gone forever.

Uncovering them again

Is taking its toll.

She knows just what to say

And what buttons to push.

She loves me for me

Turning my heart into mush.

My blood is boiling not like before

She’s given me new life

I’ll never know what is in store.

From the time we said hello

Until we say goodbye.

I’ll love her with all my heart

And never make her cry.

-Charles Godsey (Yesdog68)
