Sitting and Watching

Our Love (and sanity) could
Never be explained,
(Or testified for)
Like rain
Or wind
Or Sun,
We're (you're) not renowned
For keeping our word.
But we get around to it.
We're hurtling
Around to fast
With out much time left
To worry about
Deadlines.

Everyone wants a piece of us,
To dissect us
And understand us,
So it's ok,
I understand why you did it,
I just have to question your 'sanity',
Like i said, I'm not sure if you should
Testify.

I watch you on tenterhooks,
Waiting for you to break down,
The anticipation is nibbling hard at
My brain and my thumb nails
Are gnawed down to the roots.

I'm sweating like a pig.

I'm sorry for leaving you
To fend for your self,
But in my
(it was self)
Defence!
(I'm in the dock now)
I was distracted by (pancakes)
Something loud.
IT WASN'T MY FAULT!
I just wasn't there.
(To prevent it,
Even if I was
I'd have just
Sat and Watched.)

You might see holes in my
'Defence'
(I DIDN'T DO IT)
But, like the lawyer said,
If you don't try you can't fail.

So maybe I'm sorry I let you
fall (asleep)
But like I said,
We don't have much time left.

You've got to stop blaming me,
Everything's s**t beyond repair,

That doesn't mean we can't do something..

It's not my fault.

I think our love (and sanity)
Has been written off.

Author's Note

I was reluctant to post this, it didn't make any sense, but by the time i'd finished typing it up it had a reason, so i was ok with it. It would be interesting to see what others thought it meant...

hehe i love the word tenterhooks..... ANYWAY this was a very 'muddled' poem (and i say 'muddled' rather than muddled because i don't mean it negatively..) It seems like a lot of different things from life at the moment all jumbled together until it's like you have to pick over it with a pair of fine tweezers to find and seperate the different threads that are featured here all twisted together.... at least that's how i imagine it..
