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 lame alibis
Utterance of pure lies
Wasn't I quite the quick sleuth?
Took too long to find 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 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
