Why Not Now

I have said many times poetry is wasted on me. I am not saying poetry is a waste of time I am saying I do not "get" it. Here is proof I do not get it. My first poem...ever.

Why not now?

 

 

 

Darkness descends

No other options

Don’t care anymore

What to do?

Does it really matter?

 

Does anyone care anymore

I appreciate the lip service

But I cannot believe it’s real

She’s gone, nothing can be done

Should I try and see her again?

 

I feel so useless

I feel so empty

Not worth your time

SO LEAVE ME ALONE!!

 

I want to go

I need to see her again

But cannot

It’s not my time

But when?

Why not now?

Soon?

Please understand I am not good at poetry
