Slip Away

Slip Away - A poem

My heart, in vain
Cries out your name.
Your eyes like stone
Ignore my pain.

I sent you love
From heav’n above.
Instead you hate
And throw your glove.

I told you ‘bout tomorrow,
I told you yesterday,
Go drown yourself in sorrow.
Go spill your tears away.

I see it now,
I raise one brow,
I fade away
Take my last bow.

My silent screams
Are mute, it seems.
Let’s tie the rope,
Raise high the beams.

I told you ‘bout tomorrow,
I told you yesterday,
I die in my own sorrow.
I let life slip away.

Now we’re even,
Even Stephen.
Choose your torture:
Hell or heaven?

I let you go,
I let you know,
No more to say,
I hurt you so...

I told you ‘bout tomorrow,
I told you yesterday,
Forget about your sorrow.
Forget it all away.

I find delight
In blackened night
Where in my sleep
I find the light.

Your spoils, my gains,
Our great remains,
May we find rest
Out on the planes

I told you ’bout tomorrow
I told you yesterday
Rise high by your own sorrow
Rise up, up and away!
