Coward Blue

Coward Blue

Just take your lies

And your alibis

Back to your side of the world

Just pack them up and be gone

What a fool was I to play along

To think true, your vision of the world

Leave me now, Oh Coward Blue

In months past that was so easy for you

Just be who you will be

For you are safe here with me

Be proud, stand tall, for yours is the world

For perfection be ours in this dimension

But wait – baby – there might be a few issues I neglected to mention

Just sayin’, maybe all is not right in my world

Be gone from my heart, oh Coward Blue

For you not be the man whose words I thought true

Don’t you feel it, we are held together cosmically

You explained it once so simply

Then one day – you say it was all me – I ever was alone in the world

Your reasons are real, no over slight

But still in the darkness of night

I am painfully aware – off axis remains my world

I ache and I seethe for you, Coward Blue

Layers and Layers of truth and lies, who knew?

What am I to think, feel, believe dream

Nothing is as it should seem

Holes ripped through my heart, my mind, my world

Angry that you cared so little

As to be honest & true, instead you belittle

All the gifts – the bounty of my world

Oh much I still love you, Coward Blue

Even though I don’t want to – I really do

If I could but erase you from my head

Instead I choke daily with words unsaid

A gaping hole in my world

I am a lost soul, a scared little girl now

Feeling abandoned and alone, finding my way back from the unknown

Empty promises, hopes vanquished clouding my world

I feel both love & foolish, Coward Blue

You were given so very much, and in the end squandered more than you knew.
