Poem of The Day – Oh Melanie

OH MELANIE

She would dream that rainbows shot silver tipped arrows
She would dream that unicorns would eat the legs off of men
It would seem that she would dream that her shoes were torn
Clowns made threats
And behind that curtain
Something was there
Something she’s tried to forget
Happiness was a place she couldn’t stay
Finding something wrong with every man
Had to say good by
And wish there was another way


Thanking God I didn’t get on my knees
begging her to stay
I can hear myself say
Oh Melanie
Please stay
And lay with me
Silence isn’t golden when it’s so quite
I can hear dust fall to the floor
I sweep it up
And it goes away

******************

I met her when I joined the National Guard after getting out of the Navy.? Her anger would come from no where.? She lived to be angry.? She enjoyed anger as much as you or I would enjoy happiness.? I would try so hard not to fight with her, but she wouldn’t have it, we would have to fight about something.

We would spend lovely weekends together until we moved in together and that’s when it all changed.? She would threaton to leave and the last time she threatoned to leave me I told her to just go.? She said she needed gas money, so I filled up her gas tank and the next morning she left while I was at work.

I missed her and was glad she was gone all at the same time, weird huh, well that’s love for you, or maybe it was lust, never really was sure about that.
