Life Goes On
I feel sympathy
for those left behind
every other Wednesday
on the wake of a lover's whimsy.
I feel love for family,
strong, strong bonds.
I feel bonds of friendship
though they usually float on the wind.
I shall call them Dandelion.
I feel joy, I feel pain, I feel sorrow,
I don't feel anger ANY more,
I don't feel worthless,
with or without you,
with or without your walking,
talking, living weapons of destruction
and I wonder what they are filled with
when they upchuck disaster.
I feel brotherly love for all the people,
I feel love for the animals too,
I feel happiness
with or without a man to call my own,
he pointed me down a very dark path,
and left me there all alone.
Tomorrow I may die,
But most likely live on and on.
I've taken up gardening
but flowers attract too many bees.
Perhaps I shall paint.
