Paula Goldsmith Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Words

You forgot my day,
My sad~sad birthday,
No card~gift or call,
I waited all day,
Ended without you.  


Your words are mean,
Your lies are told,
Breaking my heart,
Your mouth needs soap.


Hurt is felt,                                                                    Sleepless nights,                                                             Evil here.


Crying,                                                                        Good-bye.


Pain

Kim Rodrigues June 16, 2022 at 5:26 AM Sounds like a terrible childhood! Paula Goldsmith June 16, 2022 at 10:12 AM Thanks for reading/writing. The person here I saw once in the 80's and once in 2000 at a funeral. So I really did not know them. Then again 2019, when all the lies and stealing from me went on. All so very sad. Have a great/blessed day.................
