Penciled In

Two
Too busy
Too busy for love
Or so they thought
Push comes to shove
Too
Too little room
Too little room
For a ‘you and me’
Only enough room
For ambition to be
Too busy for love
Or so they thought
Togetherness lost
Push come to shove
But he was wrong
And wonders why
He pencils in
A time to cry
He schedules time
For loneliness
He plans to fill
His lonely nights
And how to undo
Wrong goodbyes
Two
Too busy
Too busy for love
Or so they thought
Push comes to shove
Too
Too little room
Too little room
For a ‘you and me’
Only enough room
For ambition to be
Too busy for love
Or so they thought
Togetherness lost
Push come to shove
But she was wrong
She wonders why
She sets reminders
Now to cry
A calendar full
Of loneliness
She manages
Her lonely nights
She longs to undo
Wrong goodbyes
I am their friend
I know them well
They miss each more
Than they can tell
But I can
And status quo won’t jell
Together heaven
Alone in hell
So at each home
Reached for a pen
Calendars, planners
Penciled in
Some time to knock
Some sense in them
Some time for them
To meet again
The time needed
So they could see
Too busy
Need some time to be
The two that they
Are meant to be
I penciled in
Some time to be
Penciled in
Some time to be
