For Your Consideration

[willow_25]

I don't usually share my poetry in a public forum, because I think most of it sucks, frankly.  But, elkormentioned that he liked this one, so I thought I'd throw it out into space, and see if anyone else had thoughts.  I think of it as more of a 'country song in need of a melody' than a poem, but whatev.  Enjoy!

Maybe it's me, but I think you hate me,
The caring stopped long time ago,
Maybe it's me, but I think you're hurting,
Wish you'd stop and tell me why.

Sing with me, sing,
Laugh with me, laugh,
Like you used to do.

Maybe it's me, but I think you're leavin',
Maybe it's me, but you long to go,
Hear your footsteps growing softer,
As you head on towards the door,

But maybe that's just me.

I can imagine Dolly Parton belting that out.

And now I have 9to5 stuck in my head again. Thanks.

It's lovely. Well, it's depressing, but in a lovely way.
