song of the lonely housewife

Made myself sit down and write something, anything

apologies pile up in the corner
unused, unwanted, unappreciated -
undesired but saved anyways
for sunny days ever since rain
became more comfortable

can we rewind desire
bring wastelands bathed in fire
back to blooming flowers in an oasis
this tiring stasis; everlasting pattern
of pretending to live for each other

how long must we pray for rain
before realizing we're drowning
and forgotten how to swim to shore
mouthing meaningless words
to prove who suffers more

i'm tired of longing and lying
i'm so tired and

i'd rather feel lonely by myself

Author's Note

Say what you will.

that wraps the words of this well...I believe this is venting in the lines with an excerpt of poetry in between there somewhere...
