Karma Points Her Gun At The Wrong Person

 

 

I like you
and I want to fill a trash can full of
poems about the pauses between
your sentences
and how I lean forward, poised,
waiting for you to say something

 

I don't know what this is
but somehow you make me
feel capable of falling inlove again

 

You have no idea how often I
believed that would never happen
I mean, it hasn't happened
and I had many chances
but no one knows how to open me

 

Because I am a box.
Wrapped in steel walls
I don't want love at all

it hurts like wanting what
I can't have

 

Really,
I wish you would go away

I can't handle the breakage

 

You can't imagine what I've been through
pretty girl
You've never had your heart ran over
You merely think you know what romance is

but,

you've never tried me
I could show you
I could give you endless nights
all the pain your core can stand

 

None of it matters though

the timing isn't right
the stars are not aligned
the universe has not
calibrated its Karma

and there was no blue moon tonight

Go figure.

Meh. Some days I am well,

Meh. Some days I am well, others not so much. We do what we must to get by. I still haven't forgotten you I swear. I started my new job last Monday and I've barely had time to breathe. A lot of adjustments happening this way. Hope you are well too my dear

I Understand

It is good to be remembered. Hope new gig works and works - How are the kids you watched for a while? I think of you from time to time and will read more of your work. I am not PM'd - I shut it off - I was answering so much I had not time to write or think - Now I'm changing gears - prose reading of novels I left half read - B well ~a~
