#cancelled - Hello Poetry

Cancelled For being too keen For saying I like you Too loudly It seems a shame But then... Maybe I was a little full on... Like maybe what was heard was "I need you!" Not "I like you" So maybe what i was actually saying was "Save me, From my lonliness!" "Complete me, Let me hang off your brilliance and raise me from my inadequacy" Which to be fair is kind of creepy And well not who I want to be anyway... So if I wasn't cancelled by someone for being like that... If that vibe floated their boat I'd probably have to cancel.them anyway. So the final score One all.

and when you say my name you'd think I had one million Delta miles from the trips my heart goes on - except it doesn’t because my flight was cancelled I’ve had this ticket for nine months and twenty-three days it was non-refundable but I'm already on the plane Dunkin’ coffee cup perched precariously on the armrest they almost spelled my name right my phone only has 11% I knew it could charge right when we boarded I thought you were waiting for me you made paper “welcome” signs and set up the pullout couch I’ve been waiting two hundred and ninety-eight days and now you're telling me this plane isn’t going anywhere. my hopes for us have jammed the engines.

Did you read today’s news? Ah! It’s making me so confused. We have been already living the blues. And now they say ...no April Fool’s Day!! I’d thought we could all use some fun. But Alas! We’ve been asked to shun. Coronavirus has left us spun. What do you say, anyone??

I have no right to feel like this, But how dare you cancel on me again, I know we aren't together, But it hurts when you do.

I have no right to feel like this, But how dare you cancel on me again, I know we aren't together, But it hurts when you do.

I spent all week waiting Like a child at Xmas, I didn't text much Because I wanted to save it all, For the moment we met again. A million questions were ready Because I want to know you, There is more than just the looks behind The way we looked at each other that day, A glimmer of a future together perhaps?

No one listens Friends seldom seen 'I'm all right' Cancelled conversations Happiness on demand Courses in tautology Reverent respectability Chimes lost to time Disconsolate coverlets Scenes from lonely places Litter on the streets You're on your own.
