Save your Jubilation

Poison that is envy

Jealousy

Anguish

Punishment

Revenge 

Harm

This toxin that flows through the shattered remains of the bond we once had. 

Dear old friend, it wasn't meant, I mis-stepped, every one does. 

What was meant was to recolor the friend ship 

that had faded with time and absence.

Understanding what wrong I did

I will take the words that slap my face

That burn my ears, and freeze my lungs

I will take them and hold them no matter how they hurt

Or harm. 

It is my place to take them for the mistake I have made. 

But understand, that the words you slap me with are a bane

If you really must show your anguish in the way I have mistreated

then simply let me go, don't be my cohort, if my camaraderie is a venom to you

Then let it float away, life is to short to hold on to people who aren't good for you.

I want to be a good bosom buddy, but ultimately you decide if I am a good familiar for you or not.

The feelings of anguish and punishment may make you feel better.

But it's an evil gas in the air of your emotions

There will be exhilaration and alleviation 

in those brief moments of bitter sweet vengeance

Then it will grow into something you cannot tame

Those brief moments will not be enough

It will choke you dry and dead. 

Those feelings are a devil to your joy. 

To muster those feelings in you, I did not mean to. 

let me go

So that your elation may live.

I do not wish to let go of the beautiful colored lights

Of our trust. 

The blues in our woes

The reds in our predicaments

the green in the lush happiness

The orange in our pain

The purple in our love

The white in our loss

The black in our gain.

To let it sink to the bottom of the ocean of wonders and horrors

Wonders of beauty and care

Horrors of alarming places within ourselves

But don't let the link of our friend ship carry you to that dark place

Don't let it poison you.

For the sake of your happiness I will go.

I will not return unless you ask of it.

Blunders from the grays and coldness of silver 

won't be allowed to effect your merriment

Don't let it poison you,

If you must

Then tell me to go

and to not come back

Save your Jubilation
