I feel real D'Angelo-ish right now for not having a title for this posting. Don't worry.. I won't be standing nekkid in front of a camera for you to sit on the edge of the couch with your homies thinking you caught a glimpse of the goods...

Instead I'm baring my soul giving you a glimpse of my heart that is mourning the loss of a friend who I should have let go of a long time ago. It hurts because I don't know who she is anymore.. and sometimes I wonder if I ever knew. Anyway, enjoy:

Today my heart touched yesterday
Grabbed hold of it
And brought you to the forefront of my mind...

Straining to see the mental image of you
Blurred by dotted lines and ink stains
Where I'd tried to erase and rewrite you
In vain
Fragments lingered here and there
Occupying space that should be filled
With good intentions and people who believe in them
Too busy stuck in the gray matter of self absorbency
You don't see me standing here
Alone
My trust shattered
With a trail of depleted hope left behind
You never tried to pick up the pieces
But I still loved you only to realize
You've hated me all along

Today my heart touched yesterday
Let go of you
And took its place behind the promise of tomorrow
