Staying Awake or Still Batty After All These Years She's staying awake tonight right here Will pass up her dance of dreams. They have come in flight to shadow her fears The winged mice, brown-black, as she screams. Petrafied, since early on days Hysterical she was tonight As passions were rising her words and her thoughts Instead, now shes tearing their sight. First one then another they mimicked her cry Swooping to see what she reads. Jumped up, sensed unwanted, this company now She ran to the backdoor in need. Said he'd be out there, was watching the game A lie, another was told. Too scared to return, she stood in her stead This she was not very bold. No shoes on her feet, just a T-shirt and shorts She noticed his car, it was gone. Sighing, and shaking, it's 10:30 now He shouldn't be very long. Oh yeah, that's right, if traveling the bars Who knows how late he'll be out. So she walked in her barefeet all around town Crying within, giving shout. She knew where to find him, he wasn't next door Walking and seething she trecked. Inside of one and another of drink 'Til the last that she reached was correct. Now what does one do, she, shoeless and worn Frazzled and talking to self. Does she open the door and walk herself in No she puts that in mind's back shelf. First checking the cars in the lot to make sure It's his, not someones in like. Damn it she thinks, damn him, some more As she now knows hes in there with Mike. Feet sore from gravel and stone chips in road A 6 block walk she had done. Opening the door, leaning in calling out She is maddened, and he's having fun. Well town once again, will be talking of her This unshoed, hysterical She. But I'm telling a tale that in time one will learn That the morals not morally he.... So she walks all alone, up the hill towards that house The one that she's batty from chase. He's there, drove on home, he sees not a thing And she now will stay up in her lace.... Every light on in house, she has taken her quilt And is pillowed right here watching you. There'll be no sleeping tonight, she is too filled with fright Will try reaching her 1000th, by day new.

After taking a couple weeks off I'm delighted to have begun today's visit with your work. The poem was very well done and kept my interest throughout. I look forward to reading more. Unrequited love sucks. |

serenity ...gosh I hope not...it's no the best of any worlds....and every time I get a whisper of promise somewhere...a breeze comes..even a very light one and whisps it away....tomorrow I always say...maybe something better will come my way...but tomorrow never comes.... ~~soft hugs M |

Oh MM, how I wish I could just come and give you a big hug {{{MM}}} This will have to do  I know how difficult things like this can be and it's a shame anyone has to deal with them. Very well written and expressed.Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |
