stated well after the fact

i finally said it out loud instead of just thinking it the words have crawled the course of my mind for a long while now but had somehow always missed spilling from my mouth and being spoken like putting a sound to the hollow space these poems echo through I rarely if ever perform them I suppose I've got something against bearing wounds for audience appreciation so instead to myself with not a single soul within earshot I said it out loud like the pain might pass with the placement of a period as if a single sentence would curtail my every waking moment spent pining for your company I suppose I thought you might hear me somehow over the span of miles between us this one phrase might catch your ear and send you back into my arms I tend to not be so trite in my wants but having had to rely on fantasy for so long in order to see you again you can't blame me for being hopeful but still I said it put simply in no elegant verse:

it sucks being without her

Yep.

This is sad and funny--and creative. The vulgarity of the conclusion seems utterly justified by the extended and somewhat romantic preliminaries. Sounds a little like love...
