Jay's Silly Words

Let’s take this road

Ignore the signs

Let’s write a code

Draw some lines

Lets start these lives

Forgetting the old

For when love arrives

We’ll vanquish the cold

Past aches and pains

Will vanish and flee

And all that remains

Our two hearts free

I’ll find us a car

You get some beer

We can drive far

Or stay right here

Wherever we come

Our new life can start

Lost in nowhere to some

But home for my heart

Life, us, will shake

Throw odd curves

But together we’ll take

Whatever life serves

With you there’s no bad

Only time with you

No reasons to be sad

Just two hearts true

We’ll get old and slow

Our travels get long

Weathering will show

To age we’ll belong

Our bodies sag down

Our senses more dull

Hair gray from brown

Nature’s youth-cull

But the rhythm still loud

A constant strong beat

Of which we’re so proud

And none other compete

The beating of our love

Stronger than ever

Completely devoid of

Possibility of sever

You my dear are

The adventure of my life

My favorite heart scar

The song I call my wife

Trying to forget about you

Is exactly the same

As trying to forget the sound

Of my own name

Forgetting the feelings, thoughts

We once shared

Grasping holding on tight to

Any feelings spared

I know what I must do now

I’ve done this before

Grieve miss pick-up move on

Like listing chores

But how do you explain to

A live beating heart

How to accept the process

Of tearing apart

How do you make your hands

Just stop shaking

Do I just live with this slow death

Do I start faking

Like a constant flu or cold

A lingering disease

Memories of her beauty, grace

Linger with ease

I see other women and girls

New distractions

Feeble attempts to cover up

Cardiac contractions

I’ll go on she will do the same

Life goes on

Start new homes new loves

This one’s gone

This love will subtly disperse

Like an old scar

Or a building in the rear window

Of a fast car

I want out of this vehicle now

And run back to

That building fading away behind

Run back to you

Or maybe I’ll reopen the scar

Before it fades

Tear into my skin with finger tips

Personal blades

Try as I might pain that I feel

Nothing works

Remedies, distractions, new things

Heartbreak lurks

I follow the directions do as I’m told

It must get better

Follow advice pretend I hadn’t even

Ever met her

If I could drown this feeling

Put it to death

I would hold it’s head under until it

Takes last breath

I would scream as loud as I could

Roar, my rage

I hate this I hate her I hate you

Hate this page

But I will not ever forget you

All the same

Or the way you would softly call

Out my name
