poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
"Cathy: poem two" Cathy poem
The sun is up
It's another day
Soon I'll be at work
Immersing myself
So I can try to forget you
Tomorrow, my day off
Binge time
Wednesday --
I'll see you again
My world waits for the meeting --
For your warm smile.
Even though it doen't mean much
To you
You ask me why I cry at night
Because I'm this close.
I need you
And the world doesn't matter
Nothing matters
Except you
And you know that
But you'll refuse to believe
As you pat me on the head & say,
"Tough luck, sweetheart"
