ONE LOOK OUT OF A THOUSAND

Folder: 
JOURNAL#16

feelings that don't know what to feel

are hardest of all to contradict or appeal

my heart is but a forgotten container left

to house the shards of what was once so very

long ago broken

the pieces

though they have long since scattered

I was just never more fully aware

until now

old wounds were ripped open

characteristically a fresh

as a near mad moment ago

he looked at me as if I never even mattered

laying my forgotten little container

wide open for public consumption

AGAIN!

only to now bleed outwardly in

slashed so brilliantly was I

by an expedient jagged knife's blade

that hailed from a perfectly planned

jaded cold stare

time, circumstance and divorce  

did this deliberately to us

the love died there..............

(April 12, 1997)
