a Nielson Kind of Love

 

 

 

the way you left me,

it felt like i was a canceled spin-off

of a series that had topped the ratings

for so long, and then just started losing viewers

 

we became a stale item

the plots thinned,

no heart imagined in the episodes

so you cast me in a new show

some of the same characters, but without you

the star, 

 

and nobody cared,

i was a supporting cast

that couldn't get your attention,

or an audience,

no one wanted to see my tears,

or hear my chronic sad dialogue

 

the scripts got monotonous 

in only a few short weeks,

 

so now i am writing

and writing

and writing

working on the pilot of a brand new series

 

one in which the main character

finds new flare,

sharp lines

and fresh theme

 

no Repeats

just re-acclimation to life

 

and love

                  a show renewed.

Hopefully no re-runs. It is funny how a relationship can run like a TV show. That first season we can't miss an episode, then it's alright to miss some, we can catch the recap. Later every week is the same story over and over again, hoping not to get canceled.

yes, can be very much like that...thank you, James.
