When To Say Goodbye

When To Say Goodbye

A Poem by Richard Lane

if i were to enter your
mind would you feel you 
felt free if you were 
to see me maybe on
a day when there was
no massive storm
or pangs of doubt shattering
your ever worrying
mind about the right things
to say and when to say goodbye
without making your
self and the lover 
you thought you were seeing
for who they were
and somehow they took you 
as you were
even when the makeup you
wore began wearing off
by 9:00 pm
instead of midnight as the manual 
you were reading
on the subject of true love everlasting
last night
before the printed words erased with
setting of the full moon
less than one hour into halloween

we all wear masks on halloween...and that is fine but otherwise we need to be just who we are...after the make-up comes off, what is underneath?

is it worth it? let's hope so.

i like this


i also like the beat of it because of how you separate the lines...kind of a hanging pause to the next word...as you split it up differently.

very very good work...

i shall visit more of your page...appreciate very much what i have read so far.
