I wake and reach for you body, forgetting that you will not ever be there again The thoughts tumble though my brain like a mudslide and the guilt churns my stomach like a concrete mixer Although not quite as loudly. I was standing in line last night while you entertained the masses I searched anxiously for some recognition I must not have cleaned my glasses You were so polite to all who spoke You never noticed me waiting patiently You blessed the crowd denying me The crumb to feed my starving soul How long will it take for me to let go of the love we had and lost last year I write these words you'll never see To understand and cleanse and become free One day you'll slip and grant that sweet smile of acceptance until you realize who I am and loose the dogs of war, your 'friends' I'm better now that this is closing although I'll still be waiting In line with the others hoping for the chance to win you heart and soul Please let me know when you see me by raising up the drawbridge each time it lowers I bore a wormhole one day it will crumble and fall Spare all the other gentle women the misery of my company |
