Jar

The signs are there now for all to see,
You say it’s time for a change,
An escape from your confined reality
And a chance to extend your range…

The weather outside matches me inside,
The greyness of the sky is like my mood,
While the raging of the rain
Is like the anger that makes me brood,
Sleep is now an impossible dream,
Much like the idea of retrieving you again,
I can’t close my eyes while knowing
Our love has disappeared down the drain,
The pictures of you smiling haunt me always,
Shimmering in your winged dress,
All I want is your face in my hands
So it I can kiss and caress,
As it is my days and nights are spent alone,
Wondering why things are the way they are,
Months ago it was ended now
Yet I still feel you in my internal jar,
All bottled up and kept from the world,
Mine to keep forever and ever,
Yet you squirmed away through the seal
And now I see our ties begin to sever,
I thought you and I were permanently entwined,
Destined to live and die, side-by-side,
Now I know that this was foolish to believe
As when the time came away you shied...

The signs are there now for all to see,
You say it’s time for a change,
An escape from your confined reality
And a chance to extend your range…
