Clearance Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Clearance
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers

Visions danced in my head,
The words left unsaid.
No words were spoken;
All promises were broken.
Excused by feeble alibis,
A recital of pure lies.
Wasn't I quite the quick sleuth?
It took too long to discover the truth.

Fires doused by the rain,
Provoked to release the chain.
Relationships can strain;
It was all in vain.
Now, dearly departed.
Stood there brokenhearted
Monsters yet to slay
Memories please fade away

Reminisce on mistakes I made
Waterfalls over they cascade
Far afield I've strayed
Inside I was afraid
Refused to see what was happening
I couldn't face the dawning of the morning
Lies flew out into space
Then disappeared without a trace

Such sorrows were dealt,
Anguish once I felt
Gave the devil his due
When I said I'd be true
The storyline you didn't follow
For inside you were hollow
In purgatory, you will bask
No more from me you can ask

Goodbye to you my dearest
Honey flowed once the sweetest
I won't live again in darkness
I won't live my life in sadness
No longer you are my empress
Tears won't clear the falseness
I was suffering from blindness
Tomorrow brings again happiness
