When Your Lobster Tells You He's Moving On

Doll in Wonderland

Shattered

And choking on my tears

Losing you 

I just can't bear this 

Take all the pieces of me 

Scoop them up, bare hands on broken glass

Refusing to look at my reflection

What have I done?

What have I done?

I never should have left you

I never should have given you up. 

All these pieces of me

Put in a box

Take me

And shove me on a shelf, in a closet

To be forgotten

And covered in dust

Let him go

Let him go

He deserves to be happy

Even if I'm not

Thanks for the memories

And all the time spent

You are irreplaceable

And loved me at my worst 

All these pieces of me 

I will clean up 

And you can forget about me 

I'm not yours to worry about, anymore. 

But I will smile

And tell you I'm so happy for you

Even though it destroys me to.

    Ohhhhhhhhh DOLL a very poignant poem lamenting lost love . It's happened to me often but my philosophy always is "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all !" I'm 33 and still looking for Miis Right ! I don't stay in a shelved box and neither should you ! I have a new GF (28) so who knows ? I get knocked down but never knocked out. Thinking of you DOLL ~ Love you ~ so get out of that BOX I'm ready with the SUPAGLUE to put you back together again ! Every Blessing for the future ~ Your Friend BRIAN

    I remember the words of a Patsy Cline song, "I fall to pieces, each time I see you again." Also I believe that lobsters, when approached move backwards. Time to move forward like when the lobster is searching for food. Thanks for sharing.
