(just a tad upset cuz...)
I don't want her to hurt anymore
she sheds tears that no one hears...ever
the muhfuggin "takers" make too much
GoTdayum "gimme" noise to even notice
she is screaming for quiet...
for peace...for understanding...
for love
life is not kind
especially for those
who love to give
we are nothing alike...see,
& she exemplifies
beauty, humility, open-ness
& her spirit lives to love
but she remains un-cherished
in that special way
I wish my love could be enough
I wish my words could soothe
& sustain her for longer than
a 3~ hour phone conversation...
I wish my mental hugs across the
miles could satisfy...
she shouldn't cry those tears alone
& there's no good reason
for her heart to ache in broad day light
it's a crime
because she knows she
can literally stand in the
middle of the street
at rush hour
drenched in blood
and the blind and the vacant
will gather around her like the
walking dead
they'll bring their raggedy *****
& come and ask
for another favor....some more time....
another chance
to ignore the love she is
& abuse
her tender heart
