Hellos and greetings

‘See ya’s and farewells

And yet something seems too final about a goodbye

Nothing like a ‘till we meet again’

Goodbyes never said are written in stone

A burden on your shoulders

A weighted crown

For the one you loved

Is lying six feet under

In the ground

And that is a...

You called me selfish.

It wasn’t just a comment,

a joke or a question.

It doesn’t take a genius

to know that you meant it.

I called you sweet.

It wasn’t a compliment,

a rebuttal or a burn.

It doesn’t take an Einstein

to see it was only me who hurt.

You called me an idiot.

It wasn’t a passing quip,

a mistake that you said.

It doesn’t take a B. Franklin,

to feel the spark that kills me dead.

I ca...

If only she knew

That the walls have hidden ears

And clever pained lips.

They whisper to the floors

Who speak to the soil

And soon

Even the dead can hear

The falsities spilled

From cunning mouths....

If only she knew.

If only she knew his smiles were hiding his lies,

his loving words were the daggers waiting to strike and the awaiting betrayal that she didnt know would break her heart.

She loved him. He was using her.

If only she knew.

If only she knew how each day he ends with thinking of her, every act of friendship was in reality of love and how each moment he sees her and him togethe...

If only she knew how much it would really hurt

When she left me alone without saying a word

Would she change her mind about us being apart?

Or would she pretend our meeting never occurred?

To have her back here, what price do I have to pay?

I would die for her, but it wouldn’t work that way

I have begged a million times just for her to stay

But she made it clear that she was going away

...

If only she knew.

I hate her so.

Oh this is new.

She calls me her freind.

Do I call her that back?

No.

No I don’t.

We learned a new word today.

Smug.

Would I describe her as smug?

Yes.

Yes I would.

Cathy, o’ dear Cathy.

You think there is nothing not to like about you.

You’re wrong.

You bully Gracie.

You have anger issues.

It’s so bad I want to punch you.

You don’t let me do anything.

I hate you.

If only she knew she’d probably lose it she’d probably never talk to me again. No I know she wouldn’t I thought could hide it but things have changed. Sneaking around hiding Tyler from her it’s difficult. It’s come down to it i think I love him and I really hope ty loves me more because I’m about to risk everything for him.

If only she knew

I tried my best

I was afraid of the outcome

I shut off

I shut down

I distanced myself to save myself

I grew cold

I regret

I didn’t get her the cat nip

I didn’t record her purrs

I still reach out to her

Her last cries haunt me

If only she knew

I’m sorry every day since

I hate the relief after she was gone

The freedom

The guilt

If only she knew

I didn’t want her to go

I didn’t want...

If only she knew how I felt

If only she could have waited a little longer

If only she had been there

I wouldn’t have left

I wouldn’t have said those things

I wouldn’t have given up

But now I’m confused

But now I’m sad

But now gone

I could’ve waited

I could’ve told her

I could’ve been there for her

If only she knew...

As I walked into the diner I always go to this girl caught my eye. I got my coffee and a biscuit then sat down near the back. I couldn’t help but stare. What if she though the same about me. Stop it! Get that though out of your mind she doesn’t.

A couple minutes later she got up. Is she walking over to me? Nope, she was just leaving. I slowly walked behind her leaving me coffee to get cold.
