Energy Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You wont get me,
To deplete more of my energy.
While you plug up to pull out,
Leaving me none.
Or believing some from you will come.
Those days are gone and I'm done.

That switch I let you easily flip,
From on to off...
Has been permanently disconnected.
No more affect on me like that do you have.
And no more will I sit by the window,
To watch you drive by where I live to do fast.
That switch I let you easily flip,
No longer exist.
So you might as well just end your,
Acts you think I am blind to witness.

You wont get me,
To deplete more of my energy.
I'm telling you now...
My time is not for you to take.
I'm telling you now...
You aint plugging up to pluck my nerves.
Or think me desperate to await,
A call from you to say you'll be late.
When you don't show your face at all.

I'm telling you now...
You aint gon' plug up here just to pluck,
My nerves.
Or waste more of my energy.
Or think me desperate to await,
A call from you to say you'll be late.
When you don't show your face at all.

'Hi, baby.
I saw you looking out the window.
Sorry I am a little late.
But I was rushing to get you that cake,
I promised I would bring for dinner.'

That's right.
I had forgotten.
What a coincidence.
I just got home to close the window.

'Oh?
And it took you two hours to do it? '

Huh? What?

'Nuthin. I'll see you soon.'

I'm so glad both of us are understanding.
And patient with trust.

'Yeah.
Me too.
We've got so much in common.'
