Time didn’t matter
His pride wouldn’t heal
What he felt for her
Didn’t go past
Physical appeal
He said to his friends
Using
Company as a drug
To mask how he feels
He had this old fling
On speed
Dial
Young thing
Who was willing
To tell him he was in denial
But she liked the chemistry
The ‘physic-
Ality’
They shared
And he liked her honesty
She knew what she wanted
She made it very clear
That he wasn’t there
And the where that he was
She couldn’t care
Less
Yet she let him know
That to the love of his life
It wasn’t fair
He hadn’t talked to her
In over a year
Because the truth
Was too hard to bear
To hear
Later tonight
The truth would be here
His mind forcibly caught up
In what she would wear
Time didn’t matter
His pride wouldn’t heal

He hadn’t called
They hadn’t spoke
He had been provoked
His phone was ringing
No answer
Was this a joke
She had believed him
Did he choke
Did he die
Was he out at sea

Was he fishing
Should she send him a note
She talked to herself
And maybe she was
Expecting too much
Did she disrespect him
Too much
That could be why
But how he treated her
Was not like any other guy
She hadn’t touched her lunch
She had eaten
But she wasn’t sure
It had been two days
Since she had seen her food
And why
Had he been so rude
Or was he exercising
His right to be
“But that wasn’t right for me.”
She whispered to herself
Her co-worker
Had asked her
If she was alright
And she had answered
Abruptly
Not wanting to say
Anything else
Did she love … Continue reading

He should have…
He should have…
But the words wouldn’t come
In the deepest of nights
The Dark Knight wouldn’t run
And in this circumstance
There had been a little sun
Wouldn’t it have been nice
To have a little son
It wouldn’t be his daughter
They would ridicule him
Laughter
Could he have been
Any softer
But she had depended on him
And he had seen
The fairy tale coming again
Coming to an end
To regret
A way to make amends
He had crossed a line
It dawned on him
He could no longer
Just be a friend
Her sword
Her shield
Her helping hands
“How could she?”
Can
That be anymore selfish
Then
Again
He is human
Emotional
Irrational
And it had taken
All night to reach a resolution
The number was dialed
And all he had to press
Was send
How unfortunate
That was when
His … Continue reading
