To me mellow is more blue
Than yellow
It is a tiredness that sweeps over me
After I see the uselessness of illusions
And become wise to the ways
All of my frenetic running only led
To exhaustion and utter heart break
Why was it so hard to let go?
Why did I try for so long
To push against the invisible tide?
I could not help but love you
But now there is an ache in the place
I used to search for you
There is an emptinesss inside the space
Deep inside me that resonates with your name
As I sense you
Becoming lost to me
Maybe because you feel so lost
In you
So now all all I can do
Is bathe in the reality
Absorb the healing cool of the afternoon breeze
Rest in the shadow of my old tulip tree
And say goodbye to all of these painful memories
And my longing
For you
