    3 o'clock low

     midday, you filled my heart with joy and passion...you said you liked me and i believed you...i feel like i am the one, chest stuck out, feeling mighty...

    1pm, things not adding up...what you said is not what i think you really meant...coming down off the high i once felt...thinking thoughts not pure of what once was...

    2pm, you made a fool of me...i see i was not that love, was just a convenience to you...there when you needed me to talk to, the sword cuts so deep...still laying there knowing i was the intended victim...let me go in peace please...

    let this be my end, my 3 o'clock low......

    edgee, A straight-forward account of what angst is running through a mind, with the ticking of the clock counting the hours. Very introspective and heartfelt. ginga

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
