echoes of poetry jams
music and comedy slams
nervous and giggling
here comes the shy one now
hiding from everyone
looking at nobody
missing the mike by miles
echoes of love affairs
kisses and fumblings
heart heavy rumblings
back of the brain
smiles are not enough
touching is way too rough
missing the mark by miles
echoes of feelings
all stillborn and impotent
yes i did love you
and no you did not love me
such is the way of things
when you misread the runes
as wholly as that
echoes of memories
twisting my stomach
in horrible certainty
i was a toy to you
you were my whole life
and it was all my fault
as simple as that
Sing The Sun by Wayne Myers
