Mid-day Drama

It is late afternoon and

I feel so alone.

All alone in this box-like room

away from home.

Tears fall down my pillow

but not enough to wash my sorrow;

not good enough to lessen the pain

I feel inside my heart that's dyin'.

Memories of the past come rushing

like silent movies on the pale-white ceiling.

Old photographs and letters

All of them I vividly remember.

How I wish I did not let you go and

did not give up on you.

How I wish you are here beside me

when I am sick and tired and lonely.

Your favorite love song plays.

It breaks this dead silence

but I feel like screaming and

reveal these words I have been keeping.

I miss you...

But you already gave your "I do"

to someone who loves you

more than I can do.

I love you...

But it is too late to fight for you.

You are happy now and ready to start anew

While I am here, crying over you.

This mid-day drama

Kills me like a bad karma.

You are gone forever

Your love I can no longer recover.
