The Chase

I spent two painfully long years

Playing the cat (and the fool).

She was the mouse...



And she could scamper with the best of them.



I spent one sleepless week

Playing the mouse (and the bastard).

Another played the cat.



Her strides were always graceful.



As the cat I was clumsy and could not catch up.

As the mouse I felt awful, but could not slow down.





I cannot love the chase like so many do...

It has, so far, provided me a week and 2 years of heartache.

These are not things I deem worthy of my love.



However, it seems the things I deem worthy of my love are,

In fact, not worth it.

And the things I deem unworthy could not be more deserving.



Perhaps I need to re-evaluate my feelings towards the chase.

sad times on the homefront...

i must be wearing a sign that says 'fuck me over... no closure necessary!'
