Alone, the First Poem I Wrote
small wet alone
whimpering in the night
and all around
the noises give you a fright.
taken to the pound
strange dogs
they lunge pounce bite
the end is near
nothing's right.
your breath gets shorter
you don't want to be here
you shouldn't be.
down down down
there's no life left in your being
it's all washed out.
you have no chance
you're sinking below the earth
you take one last glance
at all the things that hurt you
the woman that hit
the man that smacked
the cat that scratched
the dogs that bite.
the girl
where is she
she was one who loved
who let you rest your head on her knee
but she left just as you are leaving
and her soon you will see.
you leave the world
and sink into the depths
it gets hotter
you don't dare go back
there is nothing for you there.
you sink deeper
it is all you can bear
but you go on
down to hell
you will see her there.
you reach the gates
and take one last breath
before plunging into your fate
that is so stressed.
there she is with her auburn hair
its on fire and then it isn't there
she slowly fades into the background
and you are left alone.
