Slow dance on the outside

by melanie altenbaugh   Jan 10, 2013


Same old song, stuck on repeat
Its been 3:06 for 10 minutes now and I have no clue what this mornings trying to tell me so Ill just sit back in my usual manner and wait for a sign.

Im not gonna wait for you.

Im fighting with the fact of regret and sweetie, its a losing battle
Its not so easy to let them kind of things just go away..
...Not like you anyway

Im playing Hide & Seek with time
And Im not sure if I want it to find me
But then again, with time comes change
I don't know what Im looking for but change could be good if it goes my way.
Wouldn't be bad if it didn't.

The numbers going from 3 to 4, just another one to sit and talk about and
Id be lying if I said that it doesn't bother me

Im pretty sure Im better than the worst things I've done
But being sure isn't what Im hoping will come out of this
Whatever it is.

Its not so easy to let these kinds of things just go away.
Not like you, anyway.

    A thought provoking poem with some interesting lines and word use, if possibly a little rough around the edges. Certainly though it has potential: I will be back to add more later
