Mr. Goodbar And Friends

Famous Amos cookie wrappers
Littered on the floor
Empty ice cream tub
In sight in the trash
And a chocolate bar
Gripped tightly
Melting in my hand
Stress drives me to eat
And later regret
Another long night
Baffled by your silence
Hurt by your abandon
And desperate for your touch
While I feed my obsession
You slip further away
And I just lose all hope

Nothing

The silence is all around me
No one to talk to
But that is nothing new
Left alone as usual
The clock ticks away the time
No moments of laughter
No shared smiles
No joy
Only unending regret and quiet

Save It For A Rainy Day

If I could just record your voice

And play it when I feel low

If I could just capture you smile

To see it when things were tough

If I could feel your warm touch

At times when I am alone

If I only would have known

You would be gone so soon

I would have done things

So differently…
