Poem: Hollow and void


Hollow.
Listen to wind blow through me.
You could fill this void
and yet you stand idle.
Watch the burning embers die.
watch the burning skies,
watch the burning tides,
and watch the world pass me by.
Few could save me, but I watch them go about their tasks.
watching.
My voice leaves me. . .
when I try ask for help.
People say they're busy, and I know they are but. . .
a friend in need. . .
is. . .
right. . .
gone.

July

Well July starts out with a bang for me each year now and I'll tell you why. It starts with my girl's birthday. The day I decided she picked what we did for the whole day and she chose funtown....fun....town....does anyone know how much that is???? *sigh* lol but still, she had a good. . .no. . .great day apparently. (on a scale from 1-10 she said a 15 but I don't know how much to take seriously about that one Xp) We rode just about every ride, although we missed one of my favorites, the Dragon's Decent, it was still even a perfect day for me. Kept making me think about my birthday and how I hope mine will be the same.
Next is the fourth of course and not only is it the quote on quote "birthday to America" but also my stepmother's birthday. So my sister and I drove down to see the other half of the family and swim and have lobster and even say hello to the other birthday girl.
We finish our visit and my girl gets out of work (the reason she can't come down with me) and we go to the fireworks with her family. I'm utterly exhausted getting up this morning and now get to relax after my own work and read a book or two.

Though my mind keeps returning to the fact my girl will be leaving soon, she'll be off at college and I'll be here hoping I can keep busy or better, go visit. I keep crossing my fingers hoping I don't mess up, and wishing I myself could have a day like hers. I can see it now. I spend the night there in her dorm, we head out to see my dad, stopping to have sex and breakfast, making it there for the day and having a nice quiet party with everyone. We all head to fright at the fort at Fort Knox and at the end I bring her home and I head to my mother's where there is more family and going to bed at my house I talk to her about how much fun I had and fall asleep hearing her voice say "goodnight and sweet dreams birthday boy"

yeah I know

To much to ask for. But it's really only a day or two for me. . . is it really that bad?
