This Is Just To Say

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
Different lair, and different day.
Don't be crying, I will still care,
I'm just breath away.

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,

Two days in a month and they just wreck havoc.
They remind me I wasn't there, and you weren't there.
They remind me I'm still here.
But I'm supposed to have ditched 'I'm sorry'.

That sorry,
That drags up so much guilt.
So I'll put that in a story, instead
Or a poem, even if the words are wrong.

Forgive me,
I'm trying to find words
But I'd rather talk in looks
Shared laughter
And hugs.

(This is just to say -
This isn't what I meant to say
But it's more than not saying anything
And just leaving.)

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
Nine years, too long time.
Took away nine lives,
One by one, speedily.

With that speed,
I've been catching up on,
Only at times.
More often smashed by it.

Forgive me,
As I let you know,
This cat has f*cking ten lives,
And a motherf*cking skateboard.

 

[Teasel]

This is just to say

I have thrown away
All the
Bourbon I
Bought for you

And which
You were probably
saving
To savour

Forgive me
You are such a c**t
Whilst drunk
I tipped 'em

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
Thanks for the pizza,
Even though you didn't
Understand what I said.

Said, as that
Was the first words I had in the day
It didn't matter
Gesturing & laughter got us there.

Forgive me,
That pizza smells so delicious
And I was so happy
I don't have to speak anymore.

 

[The Albatross]

This is just to say
I've given away
Much of those
Precious things we stowed away

You were stuck
I could see you struggling
So some things
I did without asking

Thank you
For looking relieved
Instead of reacting as though
I was trying to hurt or harm you.

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,

I'm sipping the juice
Made in Guatemala
It reminds me of you.

It reminds me
Of all the times we've been
Sitting with way too much beer
And your all too long lined complaints
Accompanied by looks of cold flames.

Forgive me,
As I drink more without you
And without that life
I've loved, for I truly lived it.
It is so yummy
Even through the taste of my tears.

For G.W. 'G'.

This is just to say
Sorry for crying
My heart out
Under your roof
I done it
While you were out
So you didn't
Have to hear

 

[Kintsugi]

This is Just to Say

I have downsized
My Netflix
That was a
Two-screen

And which
You were probably
Using
As you coped with
Our parting

Forgive me
The things you said
Tells me you're not worth
The extra $3 a month

ETA: shit, don't know why those last 3 lines went missing. :cautious:

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say

I'm rereading your words
So full of hope
Forgive me as I don't reply
Still processing it's
Supposed to get better
In a year, for sure

Also forgive me
As I re-read your boating metaphors
I don't need the metaphors
The anchor is still you,
Wise Sistah.

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
They say to focus on the road ahead,
Not the road behind us.

That road,
That's messed up no matter
Where one's standing.

Forgive me,
As I watch out for planes (again)
Because things make sense
When you're just
So Above It.

 

[420kitty]

I have slammed into
the cars
that were parked incorrectly
at the stop light

and which
you were probably
startled
for the time being

Forgive me
they pissed me off
so disregarded for traffic
and parked like assholes; I was attracted to the danger.
