Dumped behind
Left abandoned
Stuck in a rut
One after another
lights fizzle & die
a glimmer of something better
fades so quickly
I barely remember
what the glow of love
looks like
Somedays I think too much
of a kiss
so quick, yet so
much possiblity
I wonder what might have hapened
if it was more than a kiss
I've been there
before,
it doesn't always
turn out right
Stuck in a rut
I have been in a place
I never thought I would have been
His apartment
was small &
I didn't leave until
the sun way just coming up
I am still waiting for
my forever, but I keep getting
"I'll call."
Silence
Abandoned
feeling cold unwanted
Somedays
estrogen runs so hot
blood begins to boil
& the ranting comenses
We gather around
cheesecake & coffee
later it's
wine & more wine
We all have our issues
men
We bond with our eyes glazed &
our hearts empty
or broken or both
She's having another
baby
She wants one so
badly
We all want to be
loved
She is with someone she
doesn't love
She is with someone that
doesn't love her
She doesn't even know what love is
Neither do I
Only one of us truely feels loved
& even she calls crying in the night
So young but we feel so old
Is it too late for us?
I met a guy on the dance floor
I've always said that was
impossible
It didn't go any-
where
but neither did the one
before
Alone
dumped
That is such an ugly word
I am not garbage
I cannot be thrown away
I am a woman
I need no man
to be whole
but what I want is a different story
A picture faded
with age yellowed
and frayed
A mother A father
A son A daughter
Everyone smiles
even the dog
I don't want a dog
I want a family
a man that will
NOT leave
Children to raise
and teach how
to be crazy wild
& free
Oh & all the happiness
Well, that naturally follows
I can't wait for my daughter
to slam her door and scream
"I hate u."
then I'll know I'm
doing my job
When I meet this man
is of no concern
I will love my children just the same
I'll just let God worry about
the rest.
Being left behind
isn't always a bad thing
when your looking
forward
at someone else's past
you can see your own future
If only us girls would listen to each other. |
