After ending a long time relationship
a relationship which was leading nowhere
a relationship with a married man
I took my quilts
I took my pillows
and went outside
and slept on the deck with my dog
Betty
The feeling to run
the feeling to flee
took me outside
into the night
The relationship was going nowhere
even with our vacation plans
it was going nowhere
I ended it
saying "let me go"
Gracefully, he did
all the hopes
all the dreams
disappeared into the night
This morning
the morning star
still shone bright
After rain chased me back
into the night
into the house
soaking me
and my quilts
and my pillows
This morning
the morning star
still shone bright
The ending is not an ending at all
we still remain friends
yet
with no hopes
no dreams
just being ourselves
The morning star
shines on
a lover for me
will appear
with no hopes
no dreams
only to be
with me
