Quintus

It's hard,

Emoting,

Promoting,

A shard,

A piece of who I used to be.

A light,

A knight,

A shallow lover made of me.


Why the sudden change of heart,

When you delight in my life

And cut through it like a knife;

'Fraid for sanction to depart?


I am not a parent;

I am not a star.

Just wait in the car;

I'll make it apparent.


But you never listen;

You never sit tight.

I'm scared that, one day,

You may be right.
