i hear you now

by CR   Aug 29, 2018


I hear you now
too late for my know-how
working out
i had my doubt
meditation
there was hesitation
small things it always was
and i did nothing but buzz

you were right
says my hindsight
exercise your request
and i just protest
contemplation
was not my location
me with presumption
us in dysfunction

you retreat, hit stage left
now the future is bereft
its past time
for i committed a crime
now change has come
and i feel very glum
i found my innovation
in your oration

damn darnation
i was in sedation
without compassion
nor any fashion
loss has found me
i'm on my knee
too late
i was dead weight

muscles sore
i scream and roar
sitting quiet
with my brain's diet
gives me hope
so i don't mope
not enough
its too rough

i talk and ponder
you keep-a-wander
you said
"its all me"
i tell you
"i don't agree"
us broken toys
are such killjoys

only god knows
how this one goes
but i see
our tree
that stands still
in the chill
waiting for love
with a mourning dove

      The worst part of it, is i don't damn hindsight, just wish I could have recognized what was in it before everything slipped through my fingers.
