Sitting Alone

By coyote

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sitting alone in the dark--and waiting. Will she understand when I tell her...when I try to explain? Probably she will, for she knows my weaknesses and my foibles. That won't make it any easier to admit, though, as I have been forced to do so many times in the past. I hear her car in the driveway now. She'll open the door in the dark and know that something must be wrong...again. She enters and tentatively asks, "Honey, what's wrong? Why are you sitting alone in the dark like this?" Steeling myself for the moment of truth I say, "Do you know where in the hell I put the fuses?"I have no idea where I got this. Written February 23rd, 2002 © on Feb 22 2002 04:45 PM PST   0 • 14
