Poem - "Deep Blue Sunday"

泥eep Blue Sunday
8/11/08

Outside my car the echoes abounded
With late summer laughter and joking,
But the drive to the airport was quiet and cool
With a few minor pleasantries spoken.
I counted the seconds as my beating heart beckoned
And my window gradually closed,
The terminal neared and just as I feared
The words were all there but they froze.
I opened the trunk and lifted her bag,
We hugged as we said our goodbye痴,
When the sliding doors opened my smile was broken
By the conflict betrayed in my eyes.
One long last look before letting this life
Swallow me back up again,
I started the car and deepened the scar
Almost numb to the needles and pins.
I daydreamed of her through the interstate blur,
A strange kind of satisfied sorrow,
Is it true that one day this deep blue Sunday
Will give way to a brighter tomorrow?
I cruise down the highway in a vain search for my way
Of closing my re-opened wound,
I know I壇 sleep better if I could forget her
But that isn稚 happening soon.
The alternative surely is purely insane,
To give breath to the feelings I hide,
To lose a friend to that selfish end
Would be too much to stomach in stride.
I知 left at the crossroads of friendship and doubt
Trying to hitchhike my way into love,
I知 waiting on words she won稚 ever whisper
And courage that won稚 come from above.
I知 killing myself one day at a time
And she痴 beaming back all the while,
She can稚 tell by my tone on her end of the phone
What I知 hiding behind my smile.
Memories will dim but they値l flare up again
As soon as we池e reunited,
A slave to my fears, I値l hold back the tears
For my aching love unrequited.
For now I値l go home and turn off my phone,
Gonna sleep off the rest of the day,
I could shout out the words to the wind and the birds
But she wouldn稚 hear anyway.
