Fall to Pieces (The Longest Goodbye)A Poem by J.V. StanleyTake a wild guess. A special dedication to all of those who....this applies to.Fall to pieces (The Longest Goodbye) October 4, 2011-October 8, 2011 Unseeing eyes couldn't foretell Blinded by the skies
above the horizon afar, the ground below, Little pieces here and
there Scattered about, within
and throughout Flimsy like scraps of
paper, of Falling leaves in
autumn In the wind you can
hear them rustle And scurry, these
puzzle pieces Thrown to the wind. First there was you, a
faulty set up Not within a right
mind, forgo that what erupts Claws reaching in,
something to escape Too weak to tell, but
too strong a voice A The words carved out, a
piece of me Simply wanting
something lacked, And to remember me by… And then there was you,
a future bold Kept me close, and felt
so cold Mendacities abounding, silent
sounding Duplicity, I had found Oh merciless arrogance,
how you Worked and toiled,
eroding away A piece of me every
night and day So then I walked
continued my journey Down on Main Street, I shuffled thus duplicity,
reaffirming. So then there was you, charismatic
fool With lightening eyes
and Dashing skies, of dazzling
talents that Created a world of wandering
thought, drive
down the long road ahead where I was whole again, yet Within crinkled sheets
inscribed Proof of yet another false
guy By thee by, another
goodbye Another piece spent,
another prize went Duplicity strikes again. Then…there was you A starlit canopy within
my heaven A dream so intense that
I thought I may Have found the love of my life, yet The years drawn out
like a solid black line Into the opposite
direction. We climbed each
mountain out of breath Fought until there was
nothing left We love dear love,
eternities fold And thus my savior, never show But alas the remittance
of debts Remain unclosed. Carry with us, each
burden on backs Each with a piece of
each other Stapled to the
knapsack. And then there was you,
and here I am again Thrust headfirst into a
longing friend So overdue this dream,
so unreal The consequence,
beguiled yet again. A flitted torrid
darkness I ignored All too frequent the prophets
had warned But I remained tangled, determined To be with you Yet here we are and we
are yet again Duplicity being my best
friend Of grueling darkness, a
shadow awaits I am left to the mercy
of my fate Another piece gone,
another piece left Pouring out my
lifeline, blood red, bereft And lo, I lost the will to
drive once more Into the arms of
'forevermore' Blinded sight couldn’t dispel The fog rolling through
the skies above the horizon afar, the ground below, Little pieces here and
there Scattered about, thrown
like confetti Flimsy like the film
from wrappers, of Falling leaves in
autumn In the wind you can
hear them rustle And scurry, these
puzzle pieces Still bleeding from my broken
modest wishes. © 2011 J.V. StanleyAuthor's Note
