Press play before reading. Salute.
This thirst has been sated now that I’ve seen
You've banished all my old memories
So you may now fade
To reappear
Wherever you go
Since I'm now ephemeral
A true queen
This place we once shared
Has lost its feel
So turn away
Your blue eyes
For I no longer
In submission
Will kneel
Seek not to know
What in here may lie
For that once precious thing
Has now withered and died
Look instead to your own life
And step bravely forward
Not in woe
And let your first steps
Not be slow
Show me no mercy
To going forward
As you have already shown
As they carry you
To newer plateaus
For when those old winds of gossip
To me
Did blow
I saw her and you
Such a picture show
Worry for me not
For I am sweetly wise
I instead look for words of hope
And sing blissfully
To newer tender skies
Our once loved emotions
No longer
Lie in state
As this funeral lies cold
And un-mourners
Silently gather to celebrate
This I know
As I was told
As I finally closed our wedding rings gate
But what they cannot
Comprehend
About this beautiful cat
With nine lives
All those gossips and endless un-friends
Whenever one rose petal
Drifts from Aphrodite’s
Red and Golden tree
To fall and slowly hit the cold ground
And to wither into ruins
To never bloom as before
Another one called to me
Before it hit the floor
And whispered
Courtship can once more lift her lovely head
For true love and beauty
Can still be found
Just not by the judgemental
The gossips
Or the living dead
But by only those souls
Who wilfully sing
I may be broken
But I will survive
Its why God blessed me
For without you
Inside or by my side
I'm so alive
And I dare you
To watch me
As I thrive
For gods blessed me
To find strength to say goodbye
So go
I'll soon find my own pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
The end of the rainbow
Now go
I will survive
