Pickled Smiles and Other Poems

Fool Gone By

How dare you
get to me
How dare you
be with me
saying you love
and won't leave
and point to the door
and show me freedom
to be free/wrong
taking
a stand
and away
my choice
with your too much
sense/love

How are you
so strong
How are you
so warm
feeling as I do
a stray
pretending
I live here
and learning
I always have

I love you
learned how
I love you
and how to
the door
still open
a reminder
where the trap
really is
