One Time MsA Poem by Jon R.T.Heart break maybe a one time passing
May it be I find myself basked in light
behind me reliving the times past me. With a few friends laughing up all those things we did pine for. This pure dusty road out of town gonna take me round the bend. You won’t see me again. Well I hope i remember when cold rain drifts on in. This warm place within my heart. Because you never get a better chance than that passing glance. This ole world spinning round and round again, the person, you’re gonna miss. When it’s time to cash in the chips. Is there ever any type? Was there ever any question other than why. It’s how the cards were played my dear, it’s just how this year went. It’s just my luck to wish upon your star wonder where you are. Where you been, If we’ll ever get a chance to catch up again. I’ll double down I swear. I won’t let up a bit. Wishing you all the best I can. Take that hand, out the town, No plans. Let it wind up where it’s ment to be. Any where’s fine with me. Do you like to dance? Do you like when I do this right here? Are there any dreams you can’t admit? Are there any you have with me? Tell it to me with feeling? I’ll tell it with meaning. Because I’m sliding right along be side you my swan. Maybe you could pinch me, get my attention, wake me up if I’m dreaming. Oh woah, yeah, yeah because this seems real to me. Happens all the time, I find a once in a lifetime, I gone off and messed up again? Did we find our way together? Just a little patchy weather, well ok. I know it seems it’s to late the spring has sprung we’re under the gun. You can finally see it for what it is. If it were ever gonna be this way it’s today. Is forever just here in the moment it shares with us? I’m not afraid to get hurt. I’m not afraid if turns out worse. Oh baby if you got to do your thing. Or if you try to hurt me, if you’re leaving me hanging on. Oh I’m not afraid if you gots to leave. You said you wanted a forever person. I said the same damn thing. It was never about the love, it was never just drugs and s**t. It’s okay, c’est la vie so they say, you really never know if you ain’t willing to bite the bullet with me. It’s not about if I go. Or if you stay. It doesn’t matter what I say. I said I’d be anything you want & more. Be whatever you want me to be. Just don’t lie to me, don’t try to hand me some ole fake s**t. I told myself after that day. I’d try to never pass up the chance, i’d never pass up another person who I knew was there for me. I promised myself I’d try to never leave it that way. Or turn away. For to long. What have I gone and done, I let you get afraid. You might not get your way. I’d never even try to get you to stay forever. I said I want a forever person. Well if forever never comes our way. If it won’t make in time. We might have to brake a few engagements, Miss a couple places. That’s how it goes when its make it or break it. That’s how they say it is when you feel some type of way. This s***s real to me. You never know who we might turn out to be. The future might look mighty bleak. We might not be this way again. I won’t ever be ok. Whatever, even if it’s all I get. Give me all you care to give to care, no risk, daring to dream of us to much. Did I jump the gun? Have I lost all your trust, it was allways us and them. I only ever tried to let you down easy. When you asked if I love you. You know I’m just a fool, some kinda a punch drunk lover. Your lipstick, sick kid. You were taking it out on. Oh how long till you give in to this? I’m so here for it. Do anything you want, throw a big fit, pout a lip, just blow me a kiss, give a wink and say you missed me. Maybe it wasn’t ever maybe and maybe this was all it could ever be. What’s the chance this runs out to be a love story after all. So maybe there’s no happily ever after. After all. Never said any other than I’d be your forever person even after all is said and done. So I’m taking this one straight to the chest. In case it’s the only one I get, did I ever tell you you’re beautiful to me. From a far you’re perfect, just how you are. But you never get close enough to let me see. It don’t matter if it’s real or if it just makes believe. I ment what I said and that means something to me. It doesn’t matter if I don’t know who you truly are. All I know is. The moment you fake it. Try pawn me off. Or think your owed it. You pull the rug right out from under me. It’s the same old s**t you and I did way back when. I just wish I had lill bit of a clue. Did you see me try to lie, idk why, sometimes mine turns out, happily ever after after all. Understand its circumstance. It’s not doing spider-man. I just wish you could tell me did I ever even have a chance. We both knew I was never gonna make the fairytale hero come true. It’s just how I feel. It’s the truth as I see it. It wasn’t about you or me. It was just about us. About this strangeness. Hell i don’t know but I know you know better than me. Can you love an old stranger like myself. Looks like it’s maybe this all it is. There’s no sure bets. I know I’m just a meatball to you. You’re the one they said I took my shot on & missed. They think you got away. Baby, I took out a hell of lot more for less. I don’t expect anything but the best. Being broke as a joke, laying round the house. All day, trying to land this damn thing. I’m running out of ground. I’m about to turn this around, no way out. If you want I can be up front. You were always there. You were always in affairs. Already made up your mind. I was disposable. I was supposed play keep away. Wanted my heart to race for second place. Chase paper planes. Keep a plate set so you could have your cake. Told yourself I was only ever gonna go away. You knew I was already this way. You knew it was me you had to take. You knew the risks. You knew what you see is what you gonna get. Bet you never expected this. I told you once before at least it would be real. I’m going in for more. I don’t care what there all saying, I don’t care what all they claim. They can say they know how it went. Somehow I let you get away. I know they all full of it cuz. I never miss and I mean I what I say. It was only you who ever missed out on this. The one I couldn’t figure out. Looks like I’m going out on a limb. I don’t know what you think this is. Well I tell ya, if it’s anything or only. If it was going to be just for show. If it’s just how it went. If it’s of any consequence. If it was by accident or if it was by intent. Oh if it’s anything at all. If it ever was. The only thing I f**k with. Is real s**t. And. This is it! © 2025 Jon R.T. |
