There's no beauty in this

There's no beauty in this
it's a boring string of words so don't even bother reading it!
I need to say "Goodbye"
it's all so circular, predictable, never-ending
I was wrong
I can't stay for my friends
I've tried now
I thought I could
I tried to go on with my routine
(there's comfort in routine)
but it's a mistake to try to avoid the pain of change
I need to face it and live through it
I don't want to end up like I was years ago
Just a pot of pain with a shiny lid
Pain demands attention
it stays there under the skin
puffy red, a thorn left in
I was wrong!
I can't stay for my friends
I have to experience the rip of separation
from this place
this feeling is mine alone, I know
but it hurts as
the line keeps moving,
the line keeps moving,
the line keeps moving.

I find it interesting that it takes me saying good-bye for you to treat me with even the slightest bit of human consideration. Thank you for the compliment on my words though. :geek:

I have felt like this before
And yet not today
Something about coming back
Thicker, and with a different angle
Something like a corkscrew

And yet I forget how many times
I press 'return'
And push a chair back with a heavy gasp
A sob
Only to return and find my words
Are sterile

I'm sure I did this with a woman once
Yes I did - I said goodbye to 1000 nights
1000 times, someone I really knew

And now forever trapped in deja-vu
'I can't go on like this'
Just as hard to wrench away
From one heart
As from 1000

Whatever happened to handshakes
& hugs?

soooooo 1990s

Well there is great beauty in you!
I hope you aren't meaning this.
Maybe just a new name and a new face.....
your inner beauty will always shine through.

C'mon justam!

from urbandictionary.com. Definition of BEAUTIFUL:

Beautiful is a woman who has a distinctive personality, one who can laugh at anything, including themselves, who is especially kind and caring to others. She is a woman who above all else knows the value of having fun, and not taking life too seriously. She is a woman that you can trust and count on to brighten your day. She is a woman who can inexplicably make you feel really good just by being around her, and yet brings such great sadness when she is gone. She is a woman who I will never really get to know.

Surely you can think of 12,989 more things to say over the next 7 years, can't you?

If things were always beautiful, then beauty wouldn't be the rare beautiful thing that it is.
