Poem: "Inside my Foolish Mind"

I locked your bike to mine. 
But you didn’t even know. 
You didn’t have the time, 
Your brain said go go go. 

I locked your bike to mine,  
With a rusted, shitty lock. 
And watched the rain collect  
And hours on the clock. 

I locked your bike to mine  
And thought
I’d come home to a note. 
In running ink I’d find your words  
Running down the note.  

And in the text you’d say to me, 
“I get it, what you’ve done.  
But Christ, OK, for heaven’s sake 
Enough, you’ve had your fun.”  

At least that’s what I’d thought you’d say,
Inside my foolish mind,  
But you never even saw, you see,  
Your bike tied up to mine.
