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
