When” is the eternal puzzle
it hangs like the
upright hook
on an question mark
and the period below it
is the time I spend without you
Simply because a bend
in the path we took
became a hairpin curve
when I awoke
to find you’d left me
with my heart broken
with all your reasons
left unspoken
no clues to why
and no damn note
when we could have
shared sweet
morning passion
like we did last night
filled with satisfaction.
Was it just a mercy fuck?
ending our commitment
cause lately I’d been noticing
your eyes sometimes grew distant,
Lately you’d been hot and cold
leaving my soul all exposed
to your bluesy moods that
threatened to explode
but you kept your angst
tightly controlled,
till I was left here
pondering “Where did you go?”
Your silent treatment
when it comes to love
brings only one-sided pain
it would have been much easier
If you could have explained
but now I lie here wondering
If I’ll ever see you again….
and “When?”
if love dies, it must be defined
by comforting one’s
shell-shocked mind
But you chose to just….
leave me behind
I guess that I was
too damned blind
to see that you had
reached that time
to exit gently….so benign
and so you slipped
out like a mime.
But wait, what is that noise
Just my wrong conclusions
In my negative mood.....
Because suddenly the
doorknob turned
in the bedroom where I lay
and you appeared
calming all my fears
and brightening my day,
with a pretty smile upon your face
refilling all my empty space
bringing back your
beauty and your grace
with a bag of pastries, freshly baked
and two take-out coffees
that you placed
near my bed to
wash away the taste
of my doubting you,
a foolish mistake….
that too many lover’s make.
Cause we are all human
and we all get moody
when our faith gets shaken
and our thoughts so cruelly
get us thinking that our mates
are acting coolly
when their love is strong
and their feelings are truly
anything but sad and gloomy.
“When” is the eternal puzzle
that hangs like the hook
on a question mark
and the period below it
is the time I spent without you
"Now I'm glad to
see there is no When??
and I've got your sweet
love back again,
cause you'll always
be my friend
you'll always
be my friend
