Uh Oh

Sitting across the table Is a face lit up by a feeling unprovoked She's taking all the spaghetti And she actually enjoys it But Leaving me with none. The sweet voice i hear saying i miss you over the phone i don't recognize Wasted credit spent Going over my cap But she's still safe with her 50 dollar plan. On the midnight bus At the end of the line A head leans on my shoulder and her hair smells good. A shoulder she loves But a face I don't remember. I can't shut my eyes She's stealing all my sleep She's holding on for dear life I might have to break something soon To sneak out and go to you But I'd be treading on a path of broken glass. So i try to love and be content But i accidentally called her your name. Oops.

River, I can relate to this feeling. You've captured the moment when one realizes they're struggling to hold onto something that no longer exists. Well written piece. Donna
