Moving On

My heart was for lease
But the tenant is gone.
I had to evict her;
Now I’m moving on.

I was at the top of the list,
But I’ve since withdrawn
Not even time for two weeks notice,
But it’s time to move on.

Add an ‘ex’ to my title.
Quite possibly a ‘non’.
I need to know for when I tell people
That I’m moving on.

I remember being happy
With no fake smile to put on.
Now even the fake smile eludes me
As I try to move on.

I wanted to sleep it off.
The best I can do is a yawn.
Rest does not come easily.
When I want to move on.

Lost quite like Alice,
But without a glass to look upon.
A never land of hope.
Hoping to move on.

A truly close friend
Was someone I could count on.
To my brother from another mother:
Let us move on.

Touch the jagged edges of my broken heart.
I want you to feel it before it’s gone.
I want you to feel what I feel.
The feeling of moving on.
