Drumming on a Drum

Drumming on a Drum

Me and her - we used to be so easy

At times it was so much so it was cheesy

We would sit together but contentedly

I would drum on myself, beats on my knee

Me and her - she’d turn to me and sigh

Grab my hands to prevent more taps on my thigh

She’d shake her head but clasp my hand 

I squeezed and she squeezed back: “I understand”

Me and her - something changed for us

I don’t know when or how it happened thus

We grew apart, it happened so silently

I thought breakups happened violently

Me and her - for the other we aren’t coming

Now, no one tells me to stop drumming 

The game is up, the appeal of it is gone

So now I’m stuck, drumming on a drum

Breaking up (and apart) is sad to do, and the subject of many 'love' songs. I sense loneliness now, as is to be expected. Good work.

Yes it is (sometimes I groan at myself for realizing that I am like everyone else when I do "love" poems). Thank you for your review, I appreciate the time you took!
