Untitled No. 1

Posted by Joni in General

You weren’t there when I needed you,

your words came too late.

By the time the phone rang

I was down the stairs, I had made my escape.

The streetcars clanged their impatience,

I waited for the light to change

to finally walk out of your life.
You took what didn’t belong to you

(my heart and soul) and

refused to give it back.

I should go back and fight for it,

but if I do, I’ll miss my plane.
