Thru These Words

Should Have Known

What hasn’t started

Will start on an end

I guess

The dream of filling the empty story

Fades instantly

Should’ve known

Still I am glad to at least see you

But sad to see the way you look at me

Or was that a stare?

Of what?

Nonrecognition, maybe

Should’ve known

Hearing you mumble out words of explanation

Somehow rings a happy symphony

But you not saying

At least a greeting

Saddens me

Should’ve known

I bid goodbye to the place

Seeing no you in those smiling faces

I stepped out with a painted smile

Bringing the should’ve known whine

Heaving a sigh

While clearing the things I made up in my mind.
