Cheat

Sighs, and the unsmiling scarred summer skies, Stealthily, behind the invisible window Broken into particles,a soul uneasily dies In that familiar place. Be away. Oh go! Anticipating that no one is there But those moments that again I see The surprised, longing eyes, the smile so fair, You cheated me..You cheated me. New watchpersons year by year are employed But your footprints here I still see Because some things cannot be destroyed You cheated me..You cheated me. Within the unobstrusive silence I am found, In familiar inertia the escape is neat, The weary feet again homeward bound I cheat. I cheat. I cheat. June 1, 2018
