NOT ALLOWED

I wasn't all I was cracked up to be,
You made that very clear,
Perhaps it was simply boredom,
That ignited all your fears

There was never balance between us,
Despite the hoodoo and the spells,
We lost our equilibrium,
As did Orson Welles

And I can't lean upon a rainbow,
I can't swim amongst the clouds,
I can't hold a ghost close to me,
And I can't give what's not allowed

So I gaze upon an open door,
That frames the rain outside,
Cherishing words you called the truth,
While ignoring snide asides

The void I feel might be the wind,
And there's one last glimpse of you,
The lightening captures a silhouette,
Then you disappear from view

And I can't lean upon a rainbow,
I can't swim amongst the clouds,
I can't hold a ghost close to me,
And I can't give what's not allowed
