Pining is gonna last
'cause it's only been
three frickin' days and
I miss you so bad.
Weeks gone by in minutes
every hour has you sitting in it.
Knees gone wobbly at the legs;
can't even get my wording straight.
Got some type of irregular disease
working the, fighting the,
still trialling my plead.
You can come, break down,
I'll know you, find you anywhere,
waiting for, searching for
one more reason, an answer to why you care.
Silence on the drive home,
Not alone, never alone,
'cause I've got your smile
sitting with me
even just for this little while.
FOUR days and counting,
time's like broken glass
smashed bottle against the moving floor
left to lie and damp.
Hearts a bleeding, tearing shame
my last goodbye felt so grey
and the look on your face as you left the door...
Shows me that you'll come back once more...
I saw it coming, I won't lie,
pressures rising, I'm blushing...
Why?
A world of my love, a word for your own.
Not going to take it this time,
sick of leaving you; no.
Can't you see you're breaking?
I bet you've fallen from that last hold,
trying to pretend
acting, believing, yet not quite feeling you cold.
Fifth day in pieces.
Sixth just the same.
Too many nights, and still mouthing your name
at the many passers who think that they care,
Friends who want to always be there.
Garbage words that mean so much
the honest love from the picture almost there, close,
But I can't touch.
And the only thing I can be,
is a friend living so far from
the place I wanna...
...
It's ended, I think.
Not quite so sure,
feelings unrequited on both sides
tend to stir.
There's no way I’ll show this
Words of my own.
Too easy to read me,
though this you already know.
A pendant of envy, for those you are with,
a life time of waiting, just for this...
But, I can wait longer...
I love you, too simple.
Author notes
I just wrote this, without thinking of structure, without thinking of anything about, for once, what I was feeling, rather than what all the stories in my head were on about. This is about me.
