The Long Goodbye

I have lived through pain and sorrow

And I cannot afford to be sorry.

But I, after all am still queen.

And I fight dragons.

They lurk in the deepest part of my gut and painfully,

I choke teardrops back

But the dragons; those demons cause me sadness.

And sometimes the one you thought you were meant for; meant to be with all your life;

Cannot kiss them away

But can only kiss you

Goodbye….

But that was just a dream wasn’t it?

If you ever believed;

If you ever did see;

A future for us.

You have probably with all due respect been mistaken.
