Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words

Tag-A-Long

Always a tag-a-long
the dangler
the third
the one left behind
in an emergency

Never number two
number one a long-lost dream
something little girls
and old women dream about
in a world where they do not exist

Contemplating the role
of the ever-present
but seldom seen
or noticed third
needed by couples and groups

Time passes slowly
the tag-a-long
sinks into despair
weary of the chase
retreats to become – a loner

    My heart cracks reading this. Again, you have plumbed the depth of regret and loss for that particular demographic I live in. Hugs
