Facebook phone showed just/
her hair, face, neck: Enough to/
recall her night* gaze.
OR
*thought
Her soul felt so much/
pain. We could have learned from it,/
but she stayed silent.
When I give her what/
she asks for, and she turns it/
down, I’ll stop trying.
When you ask for it,/
I will deliver more. But/
reject it, I quit.
A day* to be filled/
with joyful companionship/
is lonely instead .
OR
*life
I want someone who/
wants to be with me so bad/
that she can taste it.
I must stop going/
on trips where I bring back gifts/
that I’ll never give.
Well golly Gee!/
And good for you!/
You’re getting to see/
What you wanted to!/
You wanted so bad to go/
You could nearly taste it!/
You would’ve gone with a troll!/
It’d be a pity to waste it!/
Spend your evening with some other/
instead of with me./
Perhaps he’ll be the lover/
that I can no longer be./
And now that your old ticket is free/
I’ll search to discover who’ll go with me*!
OR
I’ll search for another who wants to be with me.
It’s just not fair. No/
matter where I look there’s her/
mem’ries everywhere.
