We sit in the driveway
watching this orange and purple sky
Neil Young sings “every junkies like a setting sun”.
Drinking whiskey from jelly jars,
I realize
you’re unaware of how much
I need you,
Sitting next to me,
strumming long forgotten chords,
sometimes I wonder what you see in me,
as I sing quietly “I’ve seen the needle and the damage done”
helping you along.
Smiling you join in “a little part of it in every one”
Day slips into dusk and
in this moment
we have struck the right chord.

and aren't those little moments the ones that make it all worth it???
this was very tender...
Beautifully written - it makes me want to fall in love all over again.
Nicely done, nicely done!
The tender pieces of a relationship, you've shown us.
I could visualize the whole poem - right down to the jelly jars. Beautiful piece.
