Revelations in Kay Major

Everyone loves Kay,
at least that's what they say...
[But] Then again, Kay does what she's asked,
on demand and without delay.
So why does she feel so alone in this world?
If everyone so loves her, why
does she still feel like a lost little girl?
Kay's such a great listener, she's such a sweet person-
But as of late, she's feeling neglected,
like a jilted stepchild someone placed a curse on.
Kay is awesome, she's this and she's that,
but she's feeling stepped on, and keeps falling flat.
Kay was destined to be great from the day she was born,
but right now she feels lackadaisical,
uninspired and forlorn.
Because Kay was too trusting,
too sweet and too kind;
and everyone takes advantage of that -
and leaves Kay behind.
Kay always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt,
but that only left Kay to figure it all out...
On her own,
bereft and alone.
Where is everyone she helped get ahead?
Where are all the people she loved instead
of showing them the door?
They don't know her now -
But they'll always remember "before."
But Kay is tired, and Kay now knows
that no one's to be trusted,
and "anything" no longer goes.
Kay finally realized
that real eyes
see real lies...
And true ears
know what no one else hears.
Kay still loves everyone...
but this time from afar,
and all of those feelings she'd put into the air
are now locked up in a jar.
Sealed airtight -
Kay refuses to fight
for all the wrong things
on another's behalf
She's since grown her own wings -
and now follows her own path.

Cheers

Being away from you
Hurt my heart in more ways than you could know...
But you left me behind, what an ego-shattering blow.
You didn't tell me to care about you,
But I do - or maybe I thought I did...
You never called, but maybe you couldn't,
I gave a damn, but maybe I shouldn't
have bothered.
I talked to you today.
And as always, it was out of the blue...
That alone should've given me a clue
That today is no more than yesterday's tomorrow,
And that time is never ours to manipulate or borrow.
I thought it would hurt to talk to you again,
But I have nothing but well wishes,
I'll always be your friend.
I felt nothing, no pain, no regret,
Just relief that you're okay,
and resignation to the debt
that you hold me to instead.
Really, I owe you nothing, nor do you owe me,
But I feel there was too much left unsaid,
Blind eyes turned so as not to see
That this...
Undefined, and yet clear as day,
was nothing more than a distraction,
A mere getaway -
From life and its pain,
from sorrow and its shame.
You were a friend in a time of need,
For that, I'm indebted to you,
I am indeed.
Our conversation today was one of revelation,
I'm glad we talked, I needed the clarification.
I hope you're happy and fulfilled,
And that your future will be as that of a rare flower,
Ever-growing and lovingly tilled.
This isn't goodbye, just the musings of my heart...
So here's to yesterday's tomorrows, and to good people and fresh starts.
Cheers.
