Final Goodnight

Final Goodnight

A Poem by butterfly

I can dream a new life
I dont need to steal from a wife
I dont need to cling to this well disguised knife
Its the lover not the love
Still he is the one I dream of
I can't change his stripes
When its wrong it can never be right
I say my final goodnight
There was something in his eyes that first day
I heard his voice he sounded like my soul mate
It was just red flags enticing the bull
An emotional beast hungry for a feast
Now I feel full
At this forbidden door she found a way through
She thought this was the place of truth
Now I know I was blinded by the dream
Growing fat on fantasy
I am not ashamed
I am not sad
I went for what I wanted
i paid the price
Now I dream of a new life
I want what He wants for me
My will is His will
He wants to keep me still
After all the sins I made
Even when I say I am not ashamed
My movements were from love and faith
However the price is paid
Just like the couple who stole tequila from Safeway
The dog bit his neck he can speak but no longer sing
They say the dog was doing the wrong thing
He goes to church and sings the choir
So do I
I can still mismanage the path get in to the fire
Triggered by my desire
I am understanding the lesson
I am still so far from heaven
This is where I must be
Yet I have a new dream
I have a new path
i wont look back
Thats why we met
to give me the lessons I wont forget
I pray to be better
I pray I can get myself together
I dont need a crutch
I dont need a loveless touch
I need the real dream
I blocked him and he no longer calls me
We reached the end
Its always sad to say goodbye to a friend
Either let me be or dream a new dream with me.
This wrong cant be right
I say my final goodnight
