Your Game

 

  

  

“Your Game”

 

Met you quick.

Fell in love quicker.

I think that makes the pain,

So much thicker.

 

By all rights I should be over,

All of this by now.

Broken, shattered hollowed out.

But it doesn’t help even if I shout.

  

From an early age I knew,

I knew I should never fall into love.

Still I did,

Did I believe that I was above?

 

Was I conceited?

Or just taking the chance?

I was so taken in,

Paralyzed by the oh so simple dance.

 

So, I rolled the dice,

I suppose there is no shame.

After all these years I still wonder,

What was your game?

My Light

   

  

“My Light” 

 

They never stop,

To consider me.

I live here,

But they cannot see.

 

They appear at random,

Never ask me if it is okay,

To break my light,

In their light of day.

 

They show up to pack,

It all away, throw it all away.

Never pausing to wonder,

If I am okay.

 

I am an inconvenience,

Looked over and forgotten.

I do not matter.

For the last decade, where have I been.

 

But it is okay,

It is your schedule, not where I gave.

Nothing whatsoever,

Not where I lived.

  

At some point when all is said,

And all is done.

We shall all be blinded.

Since nobody won.

A Nuclear Family

“A Nuclear Family”
 
“A Nuclear Family”
A Mommy and a Daddy,
With all the tiny struggles in-between.
And I tell my stories of my Mamma and Daddy,
That not one of my siblings ever seen.

But a decade later,
I can assure there were things,
They’ve never seen.

But I am tired of being irrelevant,
Simply because they weren’t there to see.

I’ve no desire to dismiss,
Any of your unknowing.
But I’ll no longer allowed unheard,
What I witnessed happened.

It was mean and it was awful.

I’ve no reason or place to put this on anyone,
But don’t tell me I don’t remember what I remember.
