THE ACHING SPEAKS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #35

I miss you

I was angry

now I just feel so lost

I ache for your return

how do I tell you

without looking like a fool

not that I care if I look like a fool to you

I was hurt

I felt I had been mistreated

and taken advantage of

I had written that poem for you and

was so looking forward to talking to you

and so swiftly I was dismissed so you could talk with a man

a man you chose to talk with for 3 hours knowing I was waiting

for you the whole time

and now I feel less in your eyes

and that makes me cry

you don't know how I wish yesterday had never happened

and I could feel more valued by you than your next breath

silly to admit now I know

but still, it is true

I'm sadistically laughing to myself now

thinking of something my grandma use to say

well old girl, they say  people in hell want ice water

leaving me to wander is this hell

and if so

are you to ever be the ice water I want

but can never have...............................
