Up and Down the Way i Fall.

Gone with the wind on a breeze so calm not even a feather would stir,

I sat and watched you leave without the faintest trace of tears.

 

The structured words you uttered; clear and smoothly unfamiliar,

A methodically planned goodbye; the timing quite perculiar.

 

Untrue sentences formed through lips deceived by yearning eyes.

I see you standing in the mirror looking into your own demise.

 

Blinded momentarily by a thick haze of uncertainty

You stumble at the feet of self induced pity.

 

But rising so fast that no one might view-

The moment you let life slip by you.

another touching poem. you capture the sadness of a soul un-moored from its own love of self. life is a highway that leads to as many different venues as one could are to imagine. exits all along the way. the beauty of exits is there's always an on-ramp not far from where you got off. so one can always continue on life's journey.

My favorite line is '' untrue sentences formed through lips deceived by yearning eyes''. Very Powerful!!!! Brilliant writing .

You have composed each line with a mounting emotion that we all succumb to at some point in time. I found this well penned.
