I sat on my own, the other night, <br />Lit some candles, not too bright. <br />Music on, but not too loud. <br /> <br />Far away from noise and crowd <br /> <br />Said, would you like to sit with me, <br />A glass of wine, or maybe three <br />just relax, enjoy the view. <br />No one else just us two <br /> <br />But, from the other room, received <br />“ I’d rather not, I’ll watch TV…” <br /> <br />Don’t know what I’ve said or done. <br />I try my best, to be The One <br />That she will always Love and Lust <br />But, It doesn’t work, <br /> <br />And that’s the Curse… <br /> <br />I love Her, why can’t She, <br />Take the time to talk with me, <br />Just sit down and unwind, <br />With that little glass of wine, <br />Chat and talk and reminisce <br />About family, friends, <br /> <br />Anything amiss? <br /> <br />But, that’s not fun, <br />That’s not TV… <br />And I can't compete <br />with that you see…<br /><br />Colin Johnston<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/012-on-my-own-again/
