Closing the door
Opening the lid.
What hides in there?
What
does exist?

No can say
what’s happening
today.
No one
but then
that’s okay
cause
what would we do
if we knew
the unfolding
for
this coming day?
I suspect we’d gasp
run away
trying to hide
from
what’s being described.
But
we should know
it’s never
all bad.
There in
the tearing brambles
is
sweet nectar and flowers
to keep us content
all day.
So yes
no one can say
what’s happening
today.
And
I personally
think
it’s better that way.

You left me
feeling
not so good
your sarcasm
I never
understood.
Your sharp, cutting lies
made me
feel
I should not be
alive.
Your smile
was
wicked
it made me cry.
I pretended
I too
I
lied.
To see you go
was
a relief
no more anger
accusations
no more
grief.
May you find
happiness
somewhere else
all
by yourself.
And
please
please stay there
so far away
from
me.
