a cautionary missive 2-15/05
the one simple fact I can state
non-refuteable in any way
is for all I've been through
I'm a romantic still today
Though my past has kicked my ass
lo these many years
there has been scant laughter
get through the veil of tears
I've heard the pleas of friends
for me to fucking let it go
She'll never come back in this life
and wishihng won't make it so
I've sat mostly quietly
in the past 25 years
trying to come to grips with me
to staunch the flow of tears
I post my word to be understood
not to find a lover new to me
the couple who have tried that tact
added to my misery
there have been a few who thought
they held the key to my happiness
the times that they've tried to show
have turned me into a mess
and find themselves singed by the flames
that is the pyre of my love for Lor
that burns brightly to this day
even though she is no more
I am not a perfect catch
or an ideal man in any way
I'm merely a flawed mortal man
cracked,imperfect,with feet of clay
who once dared to love an angel
until she was abruptly taken away
so heed this warning well my lass
'tis best if ye steer clear of me
I'm not the answer to your prayers
and we'll end in misery
I'll help you to find yourself
and will be with you to the end
I am not able to be your lover
but am more than willing to be your friend
