He hid behind a computer screen

Hobnobbed, with the best of them

Nobody knew quite who he was

Though he thought of himself as a gem

He could woo all the ladies, sight unseen

They would swoon, at his debonair style

But he knew, his secret life was obscene

It took its toll on him, after awhile

In an effort to make himself come clean

He gathered the girls, all together

The biggest mistake, he’d ever make

Left him coated, in tar and feathers

Through ruins, I try to make my escape

Unable to see, yet I sense my mistake

Moving about, with no reason nor rhyme

Knowing, so well, I’m near out of time

Can’t remove this mask, there’s no point in asking

Dare to take one more step, I feel my life crashing

Trying to run, from what I fear most

I find myself, floating, as now I am a ghost

Sorry about that!  I hit the darn publish button, which I think should be further away from the scheduling part, by mistake LOL  The post you saw will repost in the morning!  Oy, what a pain!!

Mistakes

A lost love, a broken heart
You walked away, I fell apart

Our time together, went quickly by
Not even a chance, for one more try

I clutch your picture to my chest, I cannot look away
I don’t remember what I did, to make you go that day

You had your moments, I had mine too
You blamed me, I blamed you

I guess it’s best, to say goodbye
There is no point, in living a lie

A lesson profound, one I cannot forsake
I live and learn, from my own mistake

Lingering, taunting
Drawing you into the abyss
A reminder of days gone by
Of mistakes and heartache
Of joy and happiness

Do you dare look back
Allowing it access
To the ghosts
You have forgotten
And remembered

No, no regrets
Only memories
Deeply seated within
Making you wiser
Bolder, braver
Defining the future
