A Poem

Lazy days

In a daisy haze

Whenever I see them

I think of you

I think of the happy times

When life was rough but bearable

Now it all feels terribly feral

My head spinning in a barrel

Thinking

Thinking without blinking

Two confirmed living

Two erased from existence

Any others are unconfirmed

Feeling lower than a worm

A loitering sense of doubt

What is this all about

Did I mean nothing to you

Was I just a stand in

Repulsively recoiling from toiling

To ferment a relationship that no longer exists

A slave to emotion

Drowning in an ocean of my own making

For not having made more of an effort

To coo-coo to the hoo-hoo of your song

Time to move on

To hear a new song

I hope it won’t be long

Until once again I belong
