How Long

26 Feb 2015

alisajs
how long will we sit here
languishing 
under the pretense of some form of
thoughtful and meaningful conversation
between like minded fools

on our hands we trip
as our ego's have fallen so long ago they are flatter than mad,
we continue with unspoken plans
heads in the sand, but who's counting

her purse fell up and through the ether
as a polar bear opened his eyes for the first time

we shudder to think what might have been
each time salmons decide to swim downstream,
navigating icy buffoons 

and we prance around the obvious
spilling out verbs without substance

remember the last time when someone was well able
and would be there for you, in spite of
it mattered not the size 
or strength of an enemy's tongue

where have they all run to?
lost in the shadows of yesterday's promise

while those of us, who think we remember,
hum.

I wanted to love him
wanted that more than anything

now, all I can do is scream...
