Thank you
For leaving me where
I thought I shouldn't be
Thank you for the thoughtless words
That took years to die away
Thank you for all the awful things you did
that you said
You would never do
You left me battered and bruised
On the side of the road
That led me where I am today
So Thank you
i remember my childhood
tiny hands pressed to the glass
nose almost touching
my eyes rose upward as if searching...
comfortable in footy-pajamas
i bought a pair of footy-pajamas last night
pink and blue checkered
they zip up the front
somehow,
i cannot bring myself to put them on
hands pressed to the glass
nose almost touching
eyes closed, ashamed naked and afraid
my pajamas clutched against my breast
FINGERS. 5. TOES 5.
EACH
SKIN IN PLACE.
EYES.SEEING. BRAIN.WORKING.
HEART.HURTING. SOUL.DRIFTING.
YOU.A MASK.
QUESTIONS.ASKED. ANSWERS.LOST.
THE PEN IS OUT Of INK.
