Chanting to myself
never look past what's really there
when there is no more

~I mean nothing to you~

Though sometimes
I think I know I do

Ha!

In your head once painted wedding white
Thinking you knew

If I felt it, saw it
how can I so suddenly
be the nothing waiting shy
behind the something

I am strange in my
devoted sense of hope
hope was the bus never caught

it wouldn't wait

and still I do.

One day
pretty boy
everyone will stop
waiting for you

for answer
you never give

time
you can never spare

Am I? AM I GETTING THROUGH?

Whispering loud
point in your direction
nothing but down

when will I smile
and mean it?

When will I frown
and love it..
being away from you

I lit your cigarette
and inhaled your dirty air

I'm a smoker now

and you only stamp me out.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

"I lit your cigarette

~ Sounds like a joyless relationship--and destructive!

Wherever this "relationship" goes, it certainly has been good fodder for your poetry! You certainly can get those emotions across!

"Time you can never spare."
This seems to be the downfall of many relationships.  I find myself resenting
those that don't have time for me...
I try to pull back and label it a
casual relationship...knowing I want
more, resentment creeps in...
so I make less time for them...
amd then they resent it...
but this is life...
how can I find a person that has
time for me if I let a person that
doesn't have time for me fill my thoughts...James

Yet another one I could send to him.... especially this part

"One day
pretty boy
everyone will stop
waiting for you"

*hugs*

There's nothing as unbreakable as the bond between an Arabian and her person
