Today, I Guess

Today, I Guess I stood in the shower, ‘til the water turned cold, felt like a tough day was about to unfold. On the edge of the bed, I sighed and got dressed, I’m gonna’ really miss someone today, I guess. The pot of coffee I made was a little too strong, I lost count of the scoops, and perked it too long. Like a wet, heavy blanket, you can’t throw aside, the last page of our fairy-tale, storybook lied. The bill must’ve arrived for past sins I must pay, I guess I just really miss someone today. Picked up the newspaper, again and again, I’m seeing the words but I don’t comprehend. All my thoughts and my focus, just seem to digress, I just really miss someone today, I guess. The sun may be shining, but my skies are grey, I want the hot sun to burn these dark clouds away. Like eyes on a painting, I’m staring so far away, I guess I just really miss someone today. The unscathed proclaim, that time heals all wounds, still I’m haunted by flashes from a warm afternoon. Perhaps more time is needed, but nevertheless, I just really miss someone today, I guess. Feels like my ship's docked in Melancholy Bay, I guess I just really miss someone today. My spirits always pick up upon her arrival, her loving smile is essential, to my soul’s survival. Before falling asleep I whisper, “Darling, I had a bad day”, she says, “I know you did honey, I had one yesterday”. We get up every morning with great loss to address, that’s what happens when you really miss someone, I guess. The sun may be shining, but my skies are grey, I guess I just really miss someone today. c Copyright 2007
