Lonely Highways

Said too many goodbyes
lost too much in that time
when did the world fall out of line
was I away, asleep or awake in a daze, walking blindly along lonely highways
 

No more times will I speak those words aloud
goodbye - I'll save the vowels, I'll turn them around in my mouth
until they spell out a line about seeing you again
somewhere distant, but not lost nor surrounded by miserable rain

I wont say goodbye, not again, not ready to hear those words on my lips
so I'll twist the verbs, shift the letters, cut the words using little snips
until they form a sentence that sits a little better
until I can write them in a verse, or in a letter
maybe in a song
one written as a welcoming hug not a lonely so long
 

Not ready for those words to turn to tears, not going to say goodbye 
words like ice, dripping from the corner of eyes
I wont say farewell, I will ask that you spare that hell
I will offer love as a guide, and hope it serves you well
a light in the dark, a lamp in this cavernous heart
not an end to a story but a whole new start

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
