Out of time, Out of tears, Out of here.

I've been waiting for hours, what do you think?

I am out of time, out of sync, 

Out of patience, out of sight,

Out of wanting to see you tonight.

I waited and waited for you to show, 

I know you have a good excuse... no, I don’t want to know.

I've known it in my gut, didn't want to admit it's true,

It just isn't right, being with you.

Out of love, out of place,

Out of mind since I saw your face.

Out of rhyme, out of touch,

Yes, I will miss you very much.

What…. you think I'm cold?

This conversation is getting old.

Out of time. Out of tears.

Out of here.

Melancholic but beautiful.
I adore the rhyming and this
is simply brilliant.

Chuckling to this one...mainly to the end. Until getting there... you were telling a lot of real gut-driven thoughts and perhaps "fears". The end changed full direction - perhaps a decision being made and yet also it could have been a decision being put on hold as you put this train of thought away for another day.

Ha, love this one dear! it's so to the point! Why women always need to wait for men? We are individual creatures, full of self respect, and knowledge of freedom.
Perfectly said, in good and bad, ofcourse we miss... if we don't kiss! but we could dismiss the thought... Nice rhyme scheme too!

[Lawrence Parlier]

An elegant rendering of cold, hard, truth! The lyrical form gives it a bit of whimsy perhaps as a way of distancing yourself from the intense feelings? Nice job!

[Revery]

Wow, sharp, intense. This is tight in all the quality of good verse. Your message is potent and framed nicely by your words. Good job

[Michael G.]

I liked how you made me feel the frustration of it all.
Very believable thoughts.

Been there. Bought the tee shirt to prove it... from both sides.
Keep writing... it was very good.
