Movie Night

I saved a seat for you,

At the theater we can watch our dreams come true

You still haven't shown up

I just figure traffic is responsible for the hold up

I got some Mike and Ikes

They're sweet and I know that's the candy you like

The movie started,

But I'm uninterested, you're where my heart is

Others crowd the seats

I've kept yours empty, you'd be proud of me

They keep asking

More and more people harass me as time passes

Tired of the questioning

Check my phone but no new text messages

I’m getting shooshed

It’s hard to focus when my chair keeps being pushed

They're kicking my seat

The movie's almost over but you're nowhere to be seen

My popcorn has spilled

My cup's emptied and it's too small for a refill

Someone took your seat

I'm lost in a sea of strangers surrounding me

The final scene proceeds

Everyone is on the edge of their seat, including me

Tense with suspense

At last the end credits commence

The screen goes black

The lights come up and I turn to the person kicking my back

It's you.

I feel an instant rage burning inside me, but, it's you

There must be a reason

You whisper to me “You’re just a screening”

I can’t believe it, but as you leave

You ask if we can do it again next week,

And of course, I agree
