jeremy's lament

Written for the "masugid" na manliligaw ni Ria. Guy just won't stop. It's been months since they spoke over text message, and he is still sending quote messages everyday. Guy just won't quit. Perhaps he doesn't know when to quit. We've all been there once or twice in our lives. I just feel this guy's .... suffering ... come on man, let it go.

Jeremy's Lament

the line groans full
of clothes now long dry

nobody but him to pull
back socks in the sky

quit throwing the clothespins
into her empty dustbin

everybody knows he should
we can only wish he could

dry as a bone it all sits
old laundry on the overhang

not thinking of when he meets
her across the line strung

and stop reminiscing
of the shirts gone missing

this he knows he should
but only wishes he could
