Waste of Time
Three in the morning
Tossing and turning
The last three, four hours
Total waste of time.
Cannot stand to hear
Unbearable, relentless
Ticking of the clock.
The last words spoken
Walking out the door,
Echoing in my head.
Another sleepless night,
Memories and pictures of days gone by
Kaleidoscopically twisting
Inside my daydreams.
All this time,
Time that went by,
Total waste of time.
Like it never happened,
Places,
That were never visited
Words,
That were never spoken
Promises,
That were never fulfilled.
What of all the dreams?
Just a waste of time.
Now four in the morning
Time keeps moving,
Another useless hour
Drained out of my life.
Look what you've done to me
If only I would have known,
You were just,
A waste of time!

Honestly Okay
Warped sense of reality,
I don't know where to run.
I have never been perfect,
But do I deserve to be shunned?

TIME TO LEAVE
We've tried to make it work.
But try as we may, it gets worse.
The love that once was there is now tattered
by Nyesha Wood
Letting go
It felt as though the stars were burning into my soul.
My mind was leaving all the worlds of sanity.
My eyes no
by Lydia Clark
It is done.
Goodbye' I say, with a heavy heart,
He stares determinedly at his feet.
His sorrow breaks my heart to see
As with
Gloating Too Soon
I truly did believe
In a gloating sort of way
That the man I left
Would miss me
When I finally went away.
