Weddings and River Currents

He's been too busy for my taste. =)

I never realized how many weddings

I have been too until you told me

You had to go to one

 

Aunt’s weddings a plenty,

But never uncles

Cousins, sure,

And even my brother’s wedding once.

 

I went to my step sister’s wedding last year in December

It seems as I get older

Weddings become more common

And now

S**t

My ex wants me to go to his

 

You were at your aunts wedding

I’ve been to many of those

You were so busy

Too busy in my opinion

But while you were gone

 

I found myself aimlessly wandering

At three in the morning

Wishing your hands were around my ribs

And my fingers tangled in your hair

 

Instead I found water around my toes

And the unreturned romantic glances of boys

Whose hearts I had all but broken

My snake like fingers and tongue spewing all my dirty

Tricks

 

Don’t ever take me to the movies if you find I am single

 

I find I like to break the hearts of the movie goers

And I get a free meal and ticket out of it

 

With you

I jumped into that river head first

The moon still glistening on the surface

Begging me to come back up for air

But I couldn’t do it

And now my foots trapped under a rock

And I’ve been carried involuntarily down stream

By this ever winding current

And all I really have to say is

                           Well s**t

 

Because the city calls my name

And I’m constantly being asked

Well why didn’t you go with him to his aunts wedding?

Which…

I don’t have an answer to

 

And as these months go by

I’m not any less scared or ready for what is coming

Then I was to begin with

I thought time would solidify things for me

But you’re still just like the shoreline

With eyes the color of the tides

That ebb and flow with the phases of the moon

 

Only now your hands play my emotions with a bow

And mine cradle the spaces inside your chest cavity

And loneliness is just too common on nights

When I’m alone with water around my toes

And you’re

                at your

                                aunts wedding

Ah to miss someone while you yourself sit alone without the Love you desire.
Weddings occur each year for countless couples.
There always seems to be a wedding you should have attended.
It's not about the weddings you go to; it's about the person you go with.
