Spare Life?

By Cally

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You ask me what I'm doing, And when I reply, I'm living my spare life, You can't help but ask me why. And What's that and What d'ya mean; I'm living the life that's in between, Not my ideal, Not my dream, Just the life that's in between. You wonder, what's wrong, Can't see that nothing is, There's things I want In this life, And something has to give. So I'm living my spare life, The one I keep in reserve, And I'm waiting, working, Wanting The one that I deserve.not quite sure about this one, I wasn't having a good week when I wrote it, any comment would be great :) Written January 12th, 2002 © on Mar 13 2002 06:08 AM PST   0 • 12
