How long have I been perched here?
How much of my time has passed by?
The leaves on the trees have fallen
The birds make their way, in the sky
The road, by the house, hasn’t changed
It’s still dusty, when winds come through
Yet, that big old tree, somehow survives
But my thoughts, have now faded, of you
How silly of me to just wait, and wait
However could I do this every day?
Wasting away, the hours of my life
On someone, who has surely gone astray
As the sun sets in the distance
Twilight-covered clouds draw near
I won’t be sitting, upon this rock
I’ve made my decision, my dear
Should you make your way back to the country
You’ll find, I have better things to do
It did finally hit, and rather bluntly
I’ve had a long history of nearly nothing, with you

I do love this one, Dorinda. Your phrasing makes your use of rhyming invisible. It flows gently to the next phrase.

Thanks so much, Barbara! I never want the reader to feel it was forced (which it wasn’t lol). ❤

I’ve felt this way before. It’s so hard when you finally realize how much time you’ve wasted on someone that never really cared at all.
