012: On My Own Again Poem by Colin Johnston

I sat on my own, the other night,
Lit some candles, not too bright.
Music on, but not too loud.

Far away from noise and crowd

Said, would you like to sit with me,
A glass of wine, or maybe three
just relax, enjoy the view.
No one else just us two

But, from the other room, received
“ I’d rather not, I’ll watch TV…”

Don’t know what I’ve said or done.
I try my best, to be The One
That she will always Love and Lust
But, It doesn’t work,

And that’s the Curse…

I love Her, why can’t She,
Take the time to talk with me,
Just sit down and unwind,
With that little glass of wine,
Chat and talk and reminisce
About family, friends,

Anything amiss?

But, that’s not fun,
That’s not TV…
And I can't compete
with that you see…
