you sit in rooms
listening to people talking about
the bible/aquariums/carving coconuts
and struggle to keep your eyes open
you keep seeing her car instead
parked in someone else’s driveway
at night, all night, till morning
see the pictures in your head
of what transpires in the dark
fool, you say
missing what was never yours
fool, fool
fool
you don’t need to remind me.
That was not my intention.
I know that. But I’ve fooled myself more times than I like.
You’re not alone in that regard.
this will hit close to home for some of us, me certainly!
We all probably have been there once or twice.
Absolutely brilliant………..
Thank you.
