Counting

Three
The number of words that were needed
Simple words to say
The idea planted and seeded
The thought that you drove them away
____________________________________

Two
The only people that matter
Together then, now apart
The whole world in tatters
Both carrying broken hearts
____________________________________

One
Relationship has concluded
One former pairing is loss
But no one need be excluded
It's only opportunity lost

Sometimes

Sometimes I forget I'm alone
Is your voice still in my ear?
Sometimes I forget I'm alone
Will I listen for my phone?
Wiping off rain that like tears
I tell myself I'm not afraid
Sometimes I try to forget how much I'm alone

Extra Mile

That feted face
That stunning smile
Hasn't been seen
In quite a while
__________________
It might not be my place
Or seem like my style
Not even my mein
To accept this guile
__________________
Bring back the grace
Leave off the bile
When joy is lean
Give the extra mile
