Life Lessons

Talk to the walls,

Humans have stopped listening.

Get a puppy to love

Instead of an x-box stuck boyfriend/husband.

Cuddle a huge teddy bear

He won’t go snowboarding with another woman.

Ask your furnitures how their day was

They won’t mock at your worries and life problems.

8 Months And Counting

8 months and counting.

No calls, no nothing

No “sorry”, no “come back”

No missed calls, no cryptic messages

8 months and counting

I am still struggling

To fight back tears

Amidst a crowded street

Where we once treaded hand in hand.

8 months and counting

It doesn’t hurt much like before

Didn’t I know it all along

You were looking for an escape

Just as I was.

8 months and counting

I don’t think I have changed much

Gullible and fragile

I wear my heart on my sleeve

Easily get hurt

But I won’t stop looking.

8 months and counting

Who knew I’d still think of you sometimes

Cry in anger and despair

What have you done?

Why didn’t I hear you out?

Why didn’t I step back, turn, and leave, my dignity intact?

8 months

And I am waiting

For the day I stop counting.
