In need of Repair...

Tossed and torn on the wayside there
Broken and bleeding heart barely beating
Waiting while wishing someone would care
____________________________________

The air grows heavy and fills with despair
Time ticks apace to show that it's fleeting
While waiting wishing someone would care
____________________________________

Tossed and torn on the wayside there
A meant-to-be becomes a missed meeting
If you had come, would I have been ware?
____________________________________

While waiting wishing someone would care
Plainly, passively, passionately, entreating,
Tossed and torn on the wayside there
____________________________________

Will this again be too much to bear?
To give up now would be cheating
Tossed and torn on the wayside there
While waiting wishing someone would care

Bread Alone

The bread at the feast

Never gets the credit

Always there, warm and ready

Slightly soft, crusty on the outside

Ready to mop up the leftovers

No one ever sits down

For a meal of bread alone

Ripped open

Hot, steaming

Torn, it’s never the same

Shared, it’s always better

But it never

Stands

On its own

Books

I can’t conceive

Of a way

To bring us together

Oh, I knew its but a dream

But a fantasy has built worlds

Who wouldn’t want to live

In such a vivid illusion?

The pages of my real life

Have been torn away

Lost in contemplation

Burned in desire

Beyond retrieval

A new chapter must be written

A cast of characters

Expertly drawn out

Time is coming for big decisions

Most authors worth their salt

Chop heads for verisimilitude

If I can’t have you

In my imagination

Then

I must imagine you gone

And move on
