Laura Breidenthal Poet Rhyme

Unexpected Company

Unexpected company
Brings unexpected sorrow
Leaving me emotionally drained
For the beauty of tomorrow
I try and put on a happy face
And pretend that I am glad
But every time I look at you
I’m nothing else but sad

I glance at you, you glance at me
Nothing to be said
And when there happens to be a talk
It shrivels black and dead
The wrenching in my stomach
Will never go away
My soul demands to forget you
But my mind will not obey

You don’t deserve the thought
You don’t deserve my care
You don’t deserve the happiness
That you will always share
Oh lost! Oh love! 
Can you hear my pain-filled cries?
Have you gone away forever
In your farewells and goodbyes?

We’ll meet again I think
You! The only one that matters
And there will be unexpected company
As my hope and spirits shatter
The world will spin on and on
The cycle will proceed
As you dine in cheerfulness
And I the darkness feed

I should have seen it coming
I should have seen you going
I guess the hardest part
Is accepting I am knowing
I hope one day he’ll find me
In my sickly state
To cast away my only company—
Emptiness and Hate
