I don't know why I wait,
sitting up all night,
waiting for you to call
until the break of light.

You always told me it wasn't fair,
it's something I always knew,
but I'm just now starting to feel it,
this whole weekend without you...

waiting...waiting...
anticipating...

thinking...drinking...
then, at last, the sinking.

I can't write the poems no more.
I guess your wife called you home.
The inspiration's gone you see,
and tonight I realize I can't be
just a side-thing, I'm alone.

And yeah, you said you love me
when I was moving away-
making it just hard enough,
making me want to stay.
But I should have stayed in Kansas
instead of coming back to you,
you said it isn't fair to me
sitting here waiting so long on you...

it's something that I always knew...

but I'm just now feeling it.

"but I'm just now feeling it."
Nice writing...Something about, you have some measure of control over choices, but very little say so concerning consequences...especially when they are persistant...James

I know how it feels to wait and not know, I just heard from someone I really love recently...although he has told me he loves me, I haven't told him yet. But hearing from him as given me PERMA smiles all day!!!

"and tonight I realize I can't be
just a side-thing"

I love this poem
and that last line...

delayed reaction things
