Finding Bliss


Cloudy green eyesWhat are you thinking?I hope not of goodbye.Have you been drinking? It's not like youTo come home this late.What can I do? You don't look so great. Is it something I've done?Or perhaps it was you.Talk to me, loveNow what can I do? Fine, no need to talkLay down your troubled head.Tomorrow we will walkAnd converse about your dread. Babe, it's been two long daysPlease get out of bed.Is there anywayTo get through to your head? Months have passedWhile the days slip by."Will you be alright?" I ask."I'm fine." You always lie. Cold absent eyesWhere have you gone?Please come backIt's been way too long. I can't help you through thisYou know how hard I tried.So, I'll leave you with this kissNow it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye is never effortlessBut life sure goes on.I learned to find my own true blissEven though you're gone. Joyful blue eyes And long flowing hair.This is no disguiseI'm finally there.
