I steal a glance at you sometimes With eyes that still wonder why A nod, a smile, a quick hello Is all that's left of me and you The jokes I throw at your expense Come from the hurt deep within You were once a devoted lover Now a distant, wary stranger Did I do something wrong? Did you find someone new? How could all your thoughtfulness Abruptly turn into this mess? So, thank you for that talk Incidental it may have been It's good to know you truly cared And just did not know I also did.

Chance Encounter
The surge of feelings
At the sight of you
Swirled around me

The Break-up
The heart still breaks Each time I think Of the day you broke it. The wound feels fresh As if it’s only yesterday That you inflicted it. It tears me up to endure Staying as we are, Knowing we are no longer. It drives me nuts Keeping the ties together When we both know We’d rather not.
