Words and Escape

Oh oh. Here it goes again.

I stare between the eyes.

Hateful words come out.

I stay stoic.

I hear words like stupid, dumb, idiot pass my ears.

Yeah, yeah goes through my mind.

Threats chill me.

I remain steadfast.

Anger increases.

I plan my escape.

Then all is quiet.

I exhale slowly.

Footsteps fade.

I leave permanently.

Waiting

I am waiting;

Waiting for information,

so I can move on.

When will it come?

I do not know.

I hope it comes soon,

and not in a few weeks,

or perhaps never.

In the meantime, I wait

and wait and wait.

Nothing else I can do,

so I look around

and do what I can.

while waiting.

Once I have the info,

I can breathe

and feel relaxed.

Until then,

I feel the walls

closed in around me.

Answers

I want answers; I want answers; I want answers

to questions that will never be asked,

nor would I know the truth, if answers came.

For if answers came, would they be the truth,

or just words spoken to calm my mind.

Would words just spoken calm my mind;

or would they just make me wonder,

if what I was hearing was the truth?

I want answers; I want answers; I want answers,

or do I?

Thank you

Yes, I do care about you.

I always will.

However, separate lives we must lead.

And that will be ok.

You have taught me a lot.

And I thank you for it.

My life will be better off for having been with you.

But separate ways we must go.

With memories of you in my heart,

I go off to my future, and for you,

I wish you the best with whatever you do.

The Fork

We have come to a fork.

We have been there for a long time.

We talk about our options.

Which path to choose: the left or the right?

We reflect.

We talk some more.

We decide.

You go on the path to the right.

I go on the path to the left.
