Words of a Poet

I’m Disappointed Too

I’m disappointed in this life
That slowly eats me away
Every moment I stand idle
Not knowing what to do with you.

I’m disappointed in you
Letting the insignificant people
Affect you, they way they do
Pulling you down with them.

I’m disappointed that they pull you away
From me.
It’s all you think about,
Leaving no time for me.

I’m disappointed to have to ask you
To care, or to at least pretend.
When am I on your mind?
When is it me that you think about?

Not knowing that
Has left me most disappointed of all.
