Barney

Once I sat there engaged and waiting Although it seemed to be, that the rolls were rotating I discovered the many expectations Remembering many depressed, idle aspirations Then I heard an alternate, lonely awaiting, At this time pillows and tissues were accommodating. Felt like surviving, but with a deficiency, Your absence stung and left only a shadow of your proficiency. It’s all great and all new, There will be others, but none of them are you. I know you were leaving, moving on, From a distance I'm grieving, as though you are gone. Gone from this world, Well at least from mine. Now I feel so broken, like only half a design. It is only you that can fix my mind, But now you’re not, mine has resigned. Resigned from trying and complying, Drag my feet along in between my crying.
