Minutes together
July 27, 2023
Minutes together
Months apart.
The months starting now today.
A day of pain.
Tomorrow another day of pain
To be followed by two months of pain.
It seems impossible to bear-
What torture lies ahead
This is the truth.
Tears won't
change it-
Asking won't change it
Forgetting will.
To forget I must give up my love.
Is it worth it-
I don't know.
What did the man decide who,
Marooned on a vacant island,
Thought constantly about crowds?
Minutes together
Months apart.
The month
s starting now today.
A day of pain.
Tomorrow another day of pain
To be followed by two months of pain.
It seems impossible to bear-
What torture lies ahead
This is the truth.
Tears won't change it-
Asking won't change it
Forgetting will.
To forget I must give up my love.
Is it worth it-I don't know.
What did the man decide who,
