In-Between-Lovers

Cold and lonely
For the dawning of July
Waiting despite my will
Not knowing when one will arrive

Cold and lonely
Still not knowing why
Crept upon by summers deep chill
Just trying to survive

Cold and lonely
Besieged by boredom, fye!
Of his sweet kiss still
To be eternally deprived

Cold and lonely
Not strength enough to cry
So another sweet pill gone
Ushering more time-passed-by

This is what it's like
To be in-between-lovers
While the last runs back
To the apron strings of his mother!

I'm cold and lonely
For another bitter July.

"We also know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."- Henri Poincare (1854-1912)

another bitter July...

I liked the poem a great deal. and I hope July can become as sweet as the blackberries it produces and as warm as the sun it embraces...

Very sad and melancoly write...but very well done nevertheless!  Time to get out and find a grown up one!

'Cold and lonely
Not strength enough to cry'


Whew ... went there once ... didn't like it~
Returned to the land of the living.

This is a deeply-emoted vehicle of sadness.
Well written.

The time between.  Time to think.  Time to recollect.  Time to regroup.  Time to be.  Let yourself be.  Let yourself be free.
