dolorous interludes.

for someone close to my heart.

I can’t think of how you’ll ever need me,
Or should want to call on me if you ever do,
Because we hardly even speak these days,
And when we do, everything feels rather laced-
Your smile, words said
or unsaid.

I can’t understand why things are now so different
From what they used to be,
So many years we’ve had, so many more I thought we’d share.
But I can’t think of when you’ll ever let me in
Again, because beneath the plastic smiles,
I am met no longer with the warmth of simplicity.

I can’t seem to do anything more to gain your
Old affections, and since I’ve reached the end of the road,
I can’t go any nearer, because the splintered
Fences really hurt me when I do.
But what I can do is wait until you’re ready to meet me
Outside; I know you don’t mean to desert.

I don’t know when that will be,
Because I can’t think of how you’ll ever need me,
Or should want to call on me if you ever do,
But now that I’ve told you where I will be,
You know where to find me should you ever
Again need me.
