Moving on

Found myself driving home from rehearsal

watching

as the clocked turned twelve

past the westgate bridge

the bright lights of melbourne promised 

a new day 

beginning

I think

think of my friends 

my friends who have moved on

moved on with their lives

their lives with a new religion

new religion meets new partner

new partner becomes a new fiance

new fiance transforms into a new spouse

new spouse creates a new pregnancy

new pregnancy brings a new child

new child completes the new family

new family climbs the staircase of life

life

    leaving me

                    at the

                            bottom

                                      looking

                                                 up

the radio played

"you have changed so much 

that I don't know

if I can call you 

and tell you I care"

I try

but when I watch

every single one

go through the change

never looking back

i hate 

being left behind

but at the same time

i want you to want

to be in my life

if I call you

i don't know if you'd understand

that you 

are the thorns

of my blood red rose
