WAITING
(wedding jealousy-written eons ago)
Excuse me?
But I don’t suppose
it would be too much
to ask you to propose?
I don’t want to impose
but you know,
we’ve been together
long enough
to have a baby
I’d say it’s time
to get this horse
and carriage on the road
Everywhere I turn
It’s white and lace
and I have to face
the fact that it’s not me
it’s her
and her
and that one, there
and where
is my turn?
It burns inside,
this yearn
for more than temporary
I’ve earned it from you
a permanent bond
contrary
to what you think
you’re wrong
I’ve learned to wait
but why
should I?
