Goodbye, Grandma
your tired eyes will someday rise
Above this lonely shore
I wonder, wish, and always miss
the smiles
and, of course
I’m staying strong
I’ll get along
But I think about you now
And I can’t imagine where I’d be
without your loving vows
I try not to shed the tears
try to hold back the fears
the memories of the wasted years
But I’m coming to a close
How can I get back the times
The wasted tries and heartfelt lines.
Oh, Susana, don’t you cry for me
I remember when we’d sing
But now, I hear the choir bells ring
You’re watching over, looking down.
Can you hear me now?
Are you happy with your eternity?
The lonely days are leaving
I feel you close to me
Can you hear me, grandma?
Your girl, I’ll always be.

Maybe I should let it all go
The cherished tears, the laughs I fake
Those glamorous smiles of yours
Were never mine to make
It’s like someone took a knife
And cut my heart out of my chest
You know what?
Scratch that.
You can’t cut something out of
somewhere it never was.
For, the life altering organ of mine
Was in the hands of the best
those strong, calloused hands
Entangled with mine
Kept me safe.
They held me near
And I pushed them away!
I was scared of what would happen
If I stayed
If I opened up again
Let someone in
And allowed my nightmares to come out and play
My past changed the way I think
My future just doesn’t seem the same
How can I move on
When my feet are rooted
To where we first kissed
On the sidewalk, in the pouring rain
I know they say if you truly love
Someone
Let them go
If they come back, keep ‘em.
If not, they were never yours in
The first place
But, it’s just so damn hard
Seeing her in your arms
And knowing
That’s where I should be
So,
I suppose,
All that’s left to do
Is sit back and wait patiently.

Starlight,
Starbright,
Illuminate my crimson sight
With a bough’s ecstasy
And wicked rhapsody,
Nothing can annihilate my night.
Aye
My grace shakes the phantom off
No longer stuck in the loft of
Self-indulgence or pity.
But, I pity the fool who dares enter my sanctum of mind.
I’ll embrace the times I left
Hidden behind and shape my…
Road ahead.
I’m off, running towards the finish line
Towards the…
Infinite skies.
Starlight,
Starbright,
Concentrate on my lamp light wish.
Chill!
Don’t feel obligated.
You could be
Mistaken.
You don’t know my heart’s desires.
Don’t call me a
liar.
Alas. I have met my demise.
Yo. I never imagined him this obliged.

My headstrong deliberation is
Coincidental with your heartbeat,
The thump, thump, thump
Reminds me of
Frosty the Snowman
And his dauntless twigs for feet.
Premeditated, you call it?
Never that.
In reverence, I reproach your black top hat.
Unique trait of a familiar face.
I need a distraction
To retract my aimless attention,
Preoccupy my mind,
Scrutinize my intuition.
Vigilant eyes,
You can continue to try.
But, in actuality,
You’re a thousand
Lies behind.

Stuck in the middle, don’t know which side to chase.
My only question is – Why should I be made to choose a side in the first place?
