Listening to
Another message
Your words
Sadly spoken
Spirit broken
I have to listen
I have no choice
Tortured by your
Voice speaking
My name
Hungry
Haunting
So filled with
Wanting

I’m out of breath
My heart constricted
Overwhelmed
Conflicted
Wanting
What I should
Not have
Yet aching
Desperately
To have it

But I cannot strip you
Of those years
I’ve already lived
You are so young
With so much
To give that I
Have already
Given

I could be
Your love
But I’d only take away
The novelty that
Youth brings
Knowing that
Your dreams
Will tarnish
Soon enough

After all
It’s only the
Varnish
Of youth
That makes them
So Bright
And who am I
To cover your
Hopes in rust?

You’ll have more
Than enough time
To do that on your own

And there it is again
That goddam phone
Is ringing
My own
Jiminy Cricket
Singing evilly
In my ear
Pickitup
Pickitup
Pickitup

My hands reach out
With hesitation
Not quite reaching
Their destination
Vibrating with
Temptation
Stopping myself
Just short as I

Mentally
Kick myself
In the ass

Why can’t I
Turn my back
On the world
Screaming
“**** you
Go away
Life is short
Little more
Than a very
Long day

Is it such a crime
To want to
Spend that time
With someone
Who still owns
A pair of
Rose-colored glasses?”

But even thru
My jaded eyes
I can draw the line
And recognize the
Difference between
What’s right and
What’s wrong
This love is
Just another
Badly written
Country song
And God knows
I‘ve always
Been one to
Sing the blues

As my reality sinks in
I walk away sadly
Letting you go
As my digital soul

Records your
Whispered
“I miss you baby…”

Washing my face
Of regretful tears
Reminding myself
Of all the years
Between us
I prepare
For an empty night
With another
Jaded soul
Who lost
His dreams
So long ago

About the same time …

…I did….

What a tremendous image this is!

It is so self-contained, it could indeed stand alone on its own.

Masterful internal rhyming in the whole work, too. Impressive!

Thank you Madame~your thoughtful reading and comments are much welcomed~

You know, Madame, I just read your profile. Now THAT is poetry. Really.
