we argue about the give and take
it's upsetting that i can't stay awake
and afterwards when you're not here
i can't get back to sleep my dear
i think about the things i could have done
instead
and the words i should have said
now that you're not here to hear them
they're doing cartwheels in my head
Great poem,short but full of meaning and that last line I'm lost for words.Oops no I have found some .
They're doing cartwheels in my head,
Moving words I should have said.
Under my pillow they do creep,
Constant reminders,disturbing sleep.
Smothered words I should have said,
Doing cartwheels in my head.
Thank you so much, John and Adriana, for your comments. It means so much to me.
