Missing the Mark
I thought we were a couple,
best of friends,
soulmates even.
We talked,
we laughed,
we shared ideas.
Our passion was a mountain-top pinnacle,
and if we could have flown,
we could have gone higher.
One day it all stopped.
you left without a word.
I can't get this feeling out of my head.
I was wrong all along.
The moment I realized
I was wrong all along.
There’s a twist,
Something I’ve failed to see.
Let me explain:
I get up early,
Take the taxi to school
I hate taxis, so
I don’t do that
in the afternoon.
Around 2-3 I take the subway.
And that is actually
an improvement,
So I thought.
A better choice
Than those stinking cabs.
But it’s a Tyler Durden thing.
What if I’m actually
a taxi driver?
Let’s think.
Could the subway
commute home,
Be after I changed shifts
with my partner?
And why would I hate taking
Taxis so much,
If it wasn’t my job?
And why do I know
All the Hong Kong oldies?
No one listens to them
Except for us cab drivers.
Maybe I even smoke;
I stink of cigarettes
At the end of the day.
Like an ashtray, I reek.
It sticks in my nose
And clings to the shirt.
..which is always smudged,
As the gravy dripped
Suddenly, I assume,
When I slammed
On the breaks.
All those people
I see and meet
Are meer passangers.
How did this happen?
When did I reach this point?
I seem to remember,
Going through a phase,
Aggravated anxiety about
how things will be.
Must have got my hands
on the keys then.
Hey!...And I AM a terrible driver!
At least I don’t need
To worry about parking,
As I never stop for long.
Thought I had it figured out... I was wrong all along.
I thought I had this figured out.
I thought I had all of the answers.
All I had to do was be everything that he said he wanted.
I did that!!
All I had to do was be there for him
I did that!!
All I had to do was support him.
I did that!!
All I had to do was be his peace.
I did that!!
All I had to do was love him.
I did that!!
I knew in m heart that this would be forever... I was wrong all along.
