they forecast it,
we do not listen any more,
just check the window.

the radio is old, retro,
gift for a birthday,
arrived late we did not say,
not
wishing to upset.

headlights flash, sheep
on the road,
the pheasant run, a pleasant
run, minding squirrels, other odd
furry things on the road.

hurt no living thing.

it rained all day, new
dress on the line, still wet.
I wrote a poem,
hoping you'd see
But I changed my mind,
I'm keeping it for me
Today isn't special,
just a Thursday in July
Everyday it's easier,
you're further out my mind
Champagne Problems playing in my ear
I deleted my poem, thoughts not for you to hear
You have come to be,
someone that I trust and need.
God how that scares me.
Is not child abuse,
Don't defend your child's mistake,
You may regret it in later life.

I have realized,
that without you in my life,
I am free to grow
Each day is a gift
Sometimes I need a lift
Reaching for my true self
Teaching myself to gain control
Wings of time
Never promised
Feel blessed for life
Wings of time
You feel for the crowd,
but can't empathize with me.
I'm the one in need.
How I envy you.
Your emotions impeded,
like a river dam.
