BROKEN GLASS



My flip flops swishing
                under my feet
I sweep up the glass
                and take it to the trash
I walk back into the room
                and wonder
How I took it this far

I'm frustrated
                but
Broken glass, spilt water
And knocked over electronics
Doesn't help me at all

I hurry to salvage
Perishable things
Then leave my home quickly
I cannot stay
Screaming and heaving
Over what does not go my way

Sit, Beside Me

Sit, Beside Me

Sitting here

Waiting, willing, wanting

For you to sit here to

Wondering what to say

To the man sitting next to me

I want him to leave

And you to sit

Beside me

But I told him we'd hang out

Because I didn't know how to ask you

Before he asked me

Now I'm stuck sitting here

Stuck somewhere between

Two friends, feeling confused

Because one wants me

But I want the other

Sitting here quiet and shy

Hoping you take the seat

Beside me

Confusion

Confusion

Feelings fused together
Racing throughout your veins
Controlling your thoughts
Telling you to act based on your emotions

Confusion

Spontanious decisions
You may later regret
Maybe a decision you never forget
And later wonder
What might have been

Confusion

Flooding this brain
Flattening it with a train
Step out of your comfort zone
Take a chance, any chance
And see what may become

Confusion
