Storm

Sidelines and Sidewalks

Sidelines and sidewalks

All the things I fought

Against

Wars and tears

All the things

That have taken me

Years to get over

Watching and waiting

Aren’t my finest acts

Especially when you

Come around

I’m done waiting.

Haven’t you heard?

There’s nothing that you will do

So why stay?

Waiting isn’t something for me

Not a favorite pastime

I’m done with this

Show and tell

I’m not just eye candy

Don’t try to tell me

That patience is a virtue

And that you deserve some.

Virtues aren’t my strong suit.

Don’t try to push this all on me

Because you

Are the one who left.

I just wanted you

To leave

And never come back.

Because I am finished

With sidelines and sidewalks

And all the things that remind me

Of you

And your patience

And virtues.

 Because now that I left

I hate

Sidelines and sidewalks.
