( for yesterday…)
It wasn’t you
It was me.
It wasn’t that you were late.
It’s just you made convenience expire.
I would have stayed forever to wait
You know, simply to catch the beauty of you
even for those moments – a few
but time came to call
and I didn’t know if you really would come…
Did you know that I had to bite my fingered thoughts
wondering what I’d tell you?
Yes, you leave me breathless…
So, as I ticked those moments waiting
wondering what to say…
That time when I told you to take your time
little or no inspiration came my way
Still, the glee of the moment
just the thought of you was enough to relieve me of the torment
When you didn’t show
I eventually had to go
Life called and other issues
Wipe the tears dear
It wasn’t you
It was me.
It wasn’t that you were late.
It’s just you made convenience expire.
I would have stayed forever to wait
You know, simply to catch the beauty of you
but time came to call
And that is why when you tried to call
the user was absent at the other end.

Nice poem. Good rhythm and expresses a delicate thought without burying it in words.
Did you know if you hold down the shift key while hitting “enter” WordPress will single-space for you?

Hullo! Thank you for your kind words.
I had no idea… thought that pressing ‘Enter’ alone was enough… But oh well, another thing to learn on…

It is enough if you want each line double-spaced. 🙂

Just noticed what you meant and I can’t say what help that would be for me. So much to learn! Thank you very much Ma’am.

Some poets find the double spacing a frustration, but it is overcomable if we only know how! 🙂

It wasn’t you it wasn’t me, serendipity took the wrong turn?
Su’ this is one of the saddest poems you’ve written and you’ve gone and made me cry! yes it was you!
I like the candor but of this one, but there’s still a pause in there…you don’t just make convenience expire if you want/need something strong enough; you become convenience,lol but then again it’s just me, the romantic talking again.
Well done Su’ very touching :).

Well, we could argue on the issue of convenience, y’know? I think that in some cases, convenience can really go out. Trust me, I know. 🙂
Thank you Dotta! This is part of the whole flow with the grey tale… It’s one of those things.
