Three O'Clock In the Morning

There was a time when You couldn’t leave my side We lay in bed Two lovers waiting in the dark Wishing the night would never end Listening to each other’s heartbeat Instinctively knowing what the other wanted. Then you turned your back on me And just had to do your thing I didn’t care for your new friends Or was it they didn’t care for me? You remember, don’t you? Technically, you’re no longer in my life But you’re still here Somewhere deep in my memory Pushing Shoving Clawing Your way back in Like you always did. It’ll be a long, long time But I’ve waited long enough For the day When I completely forget you Banish you to the garbage heap of bad memories There’s nothing wrong with the way I feel about you Next time I’ll be Stronger Smarter Wiser Determined never to look back.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Edmund. I am reading today and hoping to find some inspiration to write. I had a run a week or so ago and now it wimped out on me. Thank you for posting your poetry and sharing it with others. Love, Carol
