MIXED MEMORIES<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

As I sit here alone, remembering her,
\nI know that I’m much better off than I were.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Back In the days when she held me close,
\nback when I thought I loved her the most
\nsomething brushed by me~was it her, or a ghost,
\nor perhaps just a very warm piece of toast?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Remembering our daily walks on the beach,
\nher hand in mine, yet somehow out of reach,
\nwith our strange love child, the son of the beach,
\nI felt as though moon and stars were within reach. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We spent time collecting washed up sea shells,
\nwhile ignoring the sea and it’s rising tide swells.
\nTo find just the right shell can take years in the search.
\nNow all I recall is a stinky dead perch.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Such pungent reminders soon quickly grew old.
\nI felt that was quite a goods bill that she sold,
\nI remember her slobbery kiss on my cheek.
\nShe’d have kissed my lips, but her love was too weak.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

How the depth of her eyes pierced my very soul
\nenclosed by dark circles like two lumps of coal.
\nSomewhere in my heart I think I loved her so.
\nBut I couldn’t find where; I said “I’ve got to go.”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

She kept our love child, little Hump Day,
\n(His real name was Wednesday, we named him that way).
\nBack at the castle she raises him up,
\nwith her pet dog named Hot, and l’il Bratwurst, its pup.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Sometimes I wonder how life would have gone
\nif we’d stayed together to share some new dawn,
\nBut then I recall how she’d burp and then scream,
\nso now I’m content just to read her Facebook stream.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
