rock steady

deep within the labryinth
of chambers of your heart
does my name take residence
even in the smallest of them?

do i or do i not?
i beseech you.
may the answer come,
like the break of dawn

enough of curtain calls
and the encores of man
life is not a stage,
to act out one's whelms.

how much do you care?
only when the good old
green eyed monster comes
a calling at your house?

a friend in deed is
a friend indeed.
where were you
when i needed u so dear?

now i'm alone again
ignored and cast aside.
am i your barbie doll,
permanently on display?

if you don't care for me
please walk away for good
lest i take up action and
offer you my left hand of fellowship

so depart from me i plead
and torment me no longer
roller coaster are no longer
the order of my day

may the star of old
sparkle and fade
let it fade into darkness
a distant memory

how sweet can it be
as honey as can be
to know and meet you
and to be your mate* (*UK eng for friend)

yet how bitter too
like the coarsest vinegar
that sparks will never fly
in this little stratosphere

i will offer solace and comfort
words of advice and of hope
my ear will always lean to you
but never will my heart follow heed

for scars are the wallpaper that
adorn the chambers of my heart
a silent witnesse to the many
arrows of Cupid and many falls

i'm unique and not a digit
in the crowd of amourous suitors
so i'll go far and away from you
that i'll never be hurt again.
