This Is Just To Say

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
I'm still missing you
All your astronomy lessons
And wondering about space.

That space
We both wanted to hope in
Because staring into the past
Just wasn't fun enough.

So I want to ask you,
To greet the stars for me,
And shine on,
Like your nick said you would.

((I know. I'm not fun. But I learned to speak difficult feels in Just To Says? So maybe counts for something? Puzzled C is puzzled.))

 

[Marie E.]

This is just to say

I once did love you,
but you were so cruel
how could you
rip my heart off

You tore me in two
my life diminished
thanks for the illness
I will see you in hell

Forgive me
I empowered myself
and than moved on
you really don't matter
in the end, goodbye

(My first one.)

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
I've read your letter,
That letter you've sent me
For the fourth time already.

Four times the same rejection,
And gaslight.
Four times pointing at me,
As if I were to be blamed for asking for help.

Forgive me,
I've thrown that to the trash,
For four, if anything,
Is a number of death,
And I just killed caring.

This is Just to Say

I have redecorated
your home
while you
were away.

I know
you probably
had it the way
you liked best

Forgive me
my younger self
decided pistachio
ice cream looked sweeter

on your walls
than bright
yellow

 

[Ellabella44]

This is to say

I baked you
some raisin bread
to welcome
you home

I could not
trap the rat
that I found
here

Forgive me
some of the
raisins may
not be raisins

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
I re-homed your book,
That you left
So abandoned, so forgotten.

That forgotten book
Mirrored forgotten promises
Such as the one of
Loyalty and leaving me be.

Forgive me,
While I adore all the sunlight
Its protagonist has
Before he skips far away.

 

[Ellabella44]

This is to say

I have given up
on loving you
as you feel
you deserve

Putting you first
and foremost
in my life when I have
another all my own

Forgive me
you have set
Impossible tests
to pass to prove I cared

Hoping you enjoy
Mother's Day
anyway.

 

[Ellabella44]

This is to say

I hated
the fight
we had
Saturday

I know the stress
of meeting our
family needs
is hard right now

Forgive me,
I didn't mean to say
you'd be better off
without me

I need you
more than
I need
air.

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
I have wowed in silent wonder,
At your uselessness
And downright condescension.

That condescension,
With which you had abusive remarks,
While lying about your goods,
And harassing me about mine.

Forgive me,
While I spread correcting remarks on your reputation on the web,
And ruin your already ruined
Bookstore business.

 

[Ellabella44]

This is just to say

I have brutally
and abruptly
changed our
topic of conversation

your witty remark
became a hunt
for many
wild tangents

Derailing
your train
of thought
entirely

Forgive me,
your Question
seriously
asked for it

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
I haven't answered your question truthfully,
Because quite frankly,
You wouldn't understand.

For to understand,
You'd have to live
In an associative world
Where minutes make a difference
And a name is a lifetime.

Forgive me,
While I make my life
Even more boring and uninteresting
As you ask the news again.

 

[Ronin]

This is just to say,
I watched the road more than you,
Whining about not needing seatbelts
Because you are a safe driver so you don't need those!
Driver of the ambulance.

While you continuously whined about
How important person you are
And the wonders of so modern GPS.
As apparently I'm supposed to be amazed.

Forgive me,
Sick as a dog myself
Still judges reality more accurately
Than all of the idiots of your kind
And I'm not giving up on it because of you.
