For Rusty
How long?
How long have you been standing there
Watching make a huge fool
Of myself?
How long?
How long have you been sitting there
When I thought I was here all
By myself?
How long?
How long have you been lying there
Within your grave, leaving me to rely
On myself?
How long?
How long have you been within there
Within me, making me realize I’ll never be
By myself?
Originally put on paper 1990.
