Delirious
by Alisa Jssomewhere inside the crowd swell
I rode along, swing saddle
thinking all was well, somehow
telling myself, this was all meant to be
flowing along with the screams,
and excitement, caught up in the extreme emotion
contagious.
you have to admit
fueled with beer and who knows what else
until reality slams,
that proverbial jack hammer
leaving me and my bottle
alone again,
and empty ...
is this my life?
watching always from the side pocket
from the sea of indistinguishable faces
as couples walk by, arm in arm
unaware of this broken heart,
again ...
tell me, where have the years gone?
I must have missed it,
that exit to happiness
togetherness,
as I picked up my bottle
stumbled to my feet
and with a silly smile
passed out,
delirious ...

I have one chamber left still pumping what is left of the blood in my veins and the love in my heart. And then sometimes when you find love you through it away for no good reason. |
