9/9/12 10:45am – 9/20/12 9:49am
at a quarter to eight
a phone that works only half the time
is worth twice the trouble
thoughts of undelivered messages
let the imagination double
were her words lost on the way
to say she’s running late?
this is where she said to meet
at a quarter to eight
it’s fifteen after though
with no word or update
her fate assumed to be
the worst i could create
a missing persons report
in short would be a great
way to break the ice
if she turns up for this date
if he kidnapped her then i
know my story must be straight
otherwise headlines will read
“suspect to have killed soul mate”
but there’s nothing more to do
but chew what’s on my plate
oh how the mind can move
while the body sits & waits
