Monday. Day one, with you gone. So hard to work, knowing I have to go home, to a place without you. Tuesday. What am I going to do? I keep hoping you'll call. Honey, this is day two; I feel like I'm up against the wall. Wednesday. Night falls, day three has been burned. I thought I would last longer, but tonight I cried. Thursday. Missed you so, so terribly, spent all day thinking of you, cried on my break, and at lunch, begging God, my soul to take. Friday. Sitting in the bar, knocking Wallbangers back, chasing with beer, eyes burning from the smoke, hiding the reason for the tears… then she walked in. Saturday. Got a date with that foxy thing, picking me up, half-passed eight, said don't bring a doggone thang, I'm all you're gonna need, and well worth the wait. Sunday. Church and me had a parting of ways a long time ago, but here I am... thanking Him that you're gone. Baby don't need you no more, kissed those blues goodbye. w. james beard, jr. © January 2001 [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 01-17-2001).] |
