I thought i would go for something a little lighthearted i hope you enjoy xx
Estranged noises stifle the atmosphere
As everyone waits ...
Silent
Muffled
Premonitions of disappointment
Impregnate the air
As everyone waits
And my mind is sprinting past reality
I cant think
The next words that leave my mouth will change everything
And its too late to go back
And your nervous
Your eyes are darting
Your brow
Moist with confusion
Everyone is still waiting
I know you didn’t expect this
I had always expected I’d love you
That id immerse my self in you
drown within you
In filled chalices, where you would drink my soul
And we would bask in the glow of forever
Blissful
But ..
.that was when we were younger
And you were hotter
And I was dumber
Willing to settle
And plod along
Like listless goats grazing on a mountain
I wonder if your knee is sore
Your hands are now shaking
Your brow is dripping
The voices no longer muffled
Bursts of ‘sorry mate’
Echo through the restaurant
And elderly women watch me with disdain
I bend forward
Summoning my most empathetic voice
Pretending not to pity
And I whisper
No
Your retreating back does not surprise me
I’m relieved
I’m pleased
At least you left me the ring
