take back the day

there are some days you would seize

take it back

seize the day
and throw it out
the window --
I am sorry
I told you
anything.
I am sorry
I told you
nothing.
again.

We are

Separate pages

Of  two very

different books ...

bound by

our mutual disbelief

in

 happy endings

nothing to you

I am not just someone

Am I?

Still?

After all of this time?

Who am I kidding?

I am nothing

If I am just someone

To you.

good song choice you rocker you ;) the pointed barbs of your first verse are a power punch start .. and i am also surprised at the twist on "seize the day" ..good stuff my friend ... its a rough ride to realize a vested relationship is over ...and the anger turned inward in your closing is the worse thing to do ..but we do it all the time ... i am an optimist so i beg "the rest of the story" as she heals and is stronger than ever ..but thats just me ;) well done .. strongly emotive and universal/personal with straight speak .. i like it!

Thank you very much. This is one of those remains to be seen still in progress kind of things. The other dozen or so snippets I wrote were harsher. I saved the tame ones for publication.:)
