Stupid Song

A poem for Ms. Hayes

Sitting in the coffeeshop

Waiting for prince charming to show

Music channels in

That Song

I remembered how I loved it

and wished to be close to you

How I was jealous of you dancing

with Gladys to the kool tunes

Soothing the soul away

My soul wasn’t soothed

Every time I heard it I was

dismayed with the memory

of the loss I felt with you

holding another

I hoped for the day when the memory

would fade

The memory not have a hold on me

the hurt I wished to be released from

Time passed 

I felt free

But that Stupid Song made me 

cry today

It wasn’t prince charming’s song

But another lover’s

Prince Charming kept me waiting
