A Story

He picks up the glass

again

Not a cup,

no

Piercing shards

 

Remainders of the night

Evidence of affliction

 

Tossed away

Once Again

 

To be forgotten

Till tomorrow

 

He feels the injustice

He's aware of its presence

 

Never taught to run

Never taught to speak

 

He stays, basking in his pain

In loneliness he cries,

in neglect he wipes his own tears;

Pats his own back,

using a conforting tone, reassures himself

Saying, everything's gonna be alright

 

His life is agony

His time is short

 

He will depart, soon

In a pursuit of a better world

 

Never to have a relationship

Only a love

 

She'll drive him through boulders

Cause his head to throb

 

Burn his wallet

like a lighter and gasoline

 

She'll put him to asleep

He'll make her keep him awake

 

She'll take him down that road

He'll depart her, and the rest of the world

 

They caused this,

She'll be to the blame

 

They could plead 5th

She can be scorned

 

Never did they see

Never did they look

 

What's to find when not searching

They'll continue their life

 

Their son won't

He has left them, for something they never knew how to provide

Compassion

They heard the word, even experienced the word, but never provided it

 

Their greatest posssesion is now gone

because they lost sight of their true priorities

 

They will never know

He never knew

 

An endless riddle

Look at yourself.

And Solve.
